Isis asked me to write a poem based on a line that I included in a response to a poem that she wrote. This is that poem. . . thank you Isis for all that you do, you do make a difference, not only to us, but to everyone in your life. . .

Daughter of mystery
You have walked among us in the dark
You have seen the despair of our hearts
You have known the pain of lost love

But now, you have found the path
That leads to the light.
You have found your way out of the dark.
But yet, you remain with us.
Your light a beacon of love
In a world where love is lost.

Daughter of mystery,
Knower of love,
Teach us your secrets
Show your light to our hearts.
Give us the strength to battle the demons.
Help us to find our way out of the dark
That we may join you in the light
To love yet again,
To escape this darkest of nights.
And to others, be as you are. . .

A parent of the light. . .a child of the dark.

That which gives light must endure burning

Sven my friend, that was absolutely beautiful, I'm so touched. It means so much to me, I doubt you really have any idea how much. Thanks so much, it's beautiful, and of course I'm gonna print it out!! ((HUGS))

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

Very elegant piece

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

What an incredible tribute. Isis should be proud to be thought of so highly. Sven , you did a beautiful job on pointing out what she means to this forum and the poets here.
I loved it and agree with everything you said of her.
