History's Cry I can hear the voice's whisper On the course of history's flight Eyes record a vision crisper Than the words on page of white Pens have sketched an artist's picture Of our ancestors of fame Much more colorful and richer Are the footsteps of a name Witten records lead us halfway Through their rippled looking glass Walking on their weathered pathway Brings to view the living past In the mind's imagination Within eye's insightful view Out of tender heart's sensation Someone's life is born anew Standing on the edge of history Of an old New England town I can feel the joy and misery Veiling ancient tombstone's crown Only I have seen the stories Floating off the written page Words of deeds and phrase of glory Yellow now with weathered age Into history deeply mired Voices fill a billowed sail Sea gull is the new town crier Centuries old his squawking tale Elizabeth Santos April 18,2002 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (04-18-2002 06:48 PM).] |

When Benedict Arnold was asked "What do you think historians will say of you?".He replied "They will lie". paladin |

Very well written - enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

  BRAVO!!! Oh Elizabeth, this is wonderful, I too always know this strange feeling of nostalgia too, when I reflect on nature and how I wonder how they have envisioned the history of man unlike how we can perceive it! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderfully thought-provoking, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

In the mind's imagination Within eye's insightful view Out of tender heart's sensation Someone's life is born anew This is so very beautiful, Elizabeth... I'm so glad you see and hear and share. *S* |
