A Call From an Old Friend The song that came to touch my ear So far away and yet so near Whispering through the edge of time A voice recalled in heart and mind The breeze that spoke the nevermore Has drifted from a distant shore And brushed it’s warmth upon my face And touched me with a soft embrace The voice is but a golden thread Of what was known but never said The ribbon binding youth to youth That whispers now forgotten truth And if the song is never heard And lost in all unspoken word It is the wish of earth and sea In silent hymns to let it be But nothing breaks a friendship laced With golden threads so finely placed And all that matters in the end A little whisper now and then Elizabth Santos |

Liz--so strange after years and distance have passed, the voice remains unchanged and caught with your golden thread that binds and reminds and always remembers the feeling. I love this poem! |

What a wonderful thing it is to get a call from an old friend. It fills the heart with such happiness and you've described it here in such a beautiful poetic way. "But nothing breaks a friedship laced With golden threads so finely placed. And all that matters in the end a little whisper now and then." Loved this one Elizabeth and I hope you get so many more friendship whispers... have a happy new year! ethome |
