The Sycamore and the Wind Now that the season has dissolved The zest of autumn bliss There still remains the whisper Of a soft enchanting kiss The winds are dancing in and out Among the naked trees Long fingered limbs are bending to The swirl of every breeze November gusts that chill the night Are whistling in the dark And sigh a sigh that will embrace The breadth of limb and bark Two lovers intertwining In the darkness as they spin And whisper as they dance the night The sycamore and wind Elizabeth Santos |

Do not embrace winter so soon, dear Lady... we've yet to hear the summer dog's sigh...  |

The Sycamore and the Wind make such soulful music and you orchestrated it with such a lovely, poetic sigh.  Love to you, La Liz, Linda :hugs; |

Dear Liz...I've heard the music of this dance...it's almost as lovely as your poem. |

LovelyLizzyLady~ When my Sycamore stood 'nekid' She shivered in goose-bumped fright ... Now in the Spring, fully clothed, She dances merrily with Sir Wind Through the day and night~  LOVE THIS piece, lady~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I love love loved this. Beautiful painting of words. In the sight of Love, fear isn't even as great as a single hair: in the law of Love, everything is offered as a sacrifice |

Thank God for those folks who can truly write! This poem was most wonderful to read! long-sustained applause!! [a poetic standing-ovation!] I especially LOVE the ending: "Two lovers intertwining In the darkness as they spin And whisper as they dance the night The sycamore and wind (!)" |
