In the middle of the night Your voice speaks to me out of a brilliant light Calling to me like a beautiful siren's song Comforting my heart across this distance long To your melody I add the harmony of my heart No need to tell me the words, I know where to start I have sung this song all my life, it seems This is so wonderful, it can't be real, it must be the stuff of dreams My eyes begin to flicker and I awake And that's when my heart begins to break For instead of sharing with you my song, my own I awake to find that I am very alone. ----------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

i love the imagery in this poem. the allusion to the sirens, the musical melodies and harmonies, i can almost hear it myself and then i feel that awful ache of loneliness when i realize i was dreaming right along with you. beautiful yet sad...wonderful. |

Dear Sven, It's nice to know you love my voice and my singing that much hon. It's nice to know I can still effect people so with music alone May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
