The hand of the poet
Tells many things. . .
Life
     Love
          Passion
                  Pain

The hand of the poet
Reveals many things. . .
Mind
     Soul
          Heart
                Tears

The hand of the poet
Shares many things. . .
Yearnings
          Feelings
                   Desires
                           Wishes

The hand of the poet
Tells many things
Reveals many things
Shares many things
                        Take my hand. . .

True heartfelt words you use here my friend.  It is very true how well we can express our true feelings so easily through our pens.

This was indeed penned by the hand of a poet. Great work, as always.

Hi Sven,

Taking your hand would mean the full understanding of love and compassion, and know that it was from the heart. Your love shines in this one my friend.

Love, Cerenity

Sven,

Nice poem.  Very well written.  Poetry reveals much.

thank you for inviting us into yours.
You are a gentle and loving spirit
and it shows in every flow from your pen.
