There is an unwritten verse that you will write for all of mankind For it is a notion that has not yet been conceived, A story that has not yet been told, A thought that has never been expressed And all the world will recognize your verse as the One they meant to write You have set aside the most exquisite moments to contemplate The words, the phrases, the beauty of the rhyme It is an unknown verse and yet it will seem familiar It is a song yet unsung by the sparrow But more than all of this, it is the prayer, The dialogue with God that you will write on behalf of Every living creature God has known that these words were in your heart, but they have not yet been written He knew you were a poet and that you will pause to slowly release them into the wind And the hills and the forest will say AMEN AMEN Elizabeth Santos |

The exquisite beauty and depth and insight and wisdom of this has me breathless and in tears, Elizabeth. This is too beautiful for any but an angel to have written. What a gift you have given us, along with all the other ones, but this one is the star on the top of the Christmas tree. Owl |

Certainly there are thoughts simmering within the soul of you which you have not recognized except for feeling something is about to explode. You expressed it mightily within the confines of this poem, Liz. The world awaits. The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close. |

I imagine those words will also inspire someone to pick up their pondering and pen. Lovely Lizzie. |
