Once There was Music Once there was music enfolding romance Once there were tunes that invited a dance Under umbrellas of tall April trees Now there is silence that swells in the breeze Once I had spun in a blue velvet dress Feeling the warmth of intended caress Once we had danced in the sweet midnight balm Swaying to rhythms of murmuring calm You were the fragrance that gracefully swept Into the green as the summertime crept You were the music that twirled me a dance Spinning me into the songs of romance Once there were stars dabbling sprinkles of light Through tall limbs of fantasy’s dancing delight Years now have mellowed the tunes I recall As rustling leaves croon the lyrics of fall Summertime days of my life are behind Light sprightly twirls are a twist of the mind Leaves now are falling as colors unfurl A carpet of pleasure where dreamers can swirl I can see only through limbs of disguise Looking toward earth from the wintery skies To places where lovers are dancing below In wind sweeping whispers of glittering snow Elizabeth Santos |

Spring, summer, all the days of our past are locked inside our heart as long as we remember them, your poem not only remembers them well, but gives us all a peek at the beauty you have known. And the poem that shows us this beauty is part of the beauty that must be you. Bill |

The music will forever play on in your words for there will always be springtime and summertime in the heart and soul of the poet you are. This poem is magnificent. I love it. **hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
