the will of the wind you can’t always blueprint the course of the day with schemes and designs to determine the way for there are some forces from which you can’t hide it’s the will of the wind and the drift of the tide sometimes you go forward with zest in your soul determined to reach that one reachable goal then unforeseen happenings come into play it’s the flow of the waters, the storms of the day sometimes you wake up with your heart full of dread with sorrowful melodies fixed in your head then the requiem turns to a jovial tune it’s the tilt of the earth and the pull of the moon you cannot predict what the future will bring what dance you will dance and what song you will sing for no matter how great your resolve from within it’s the drift of the tide, and the will of the wind Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-26-2000).] |

Once again, I am shaking my head in wonderment--so smooth and easy to follow, and deep...and you make it sound easy. I really should be typing this in green. |

This is absolutely lovely! Well worded, and certainly true! I especially enjoyed the lines "it’s the tilt of the earth and the pull of the moon", and "it’s the drift of the tide, and the will of the wind". |

I WILL type in green! LOL Liz, I'm finding the more I read of your poetry, the more I find out about myself. Thank God someone knows who the heck I am! LOL Er....since you know me so well, I'm making up a list of questions I have for you, ok? hehe And you can send me a bill if it takes up too much of your time!  Beautiful words you share with such grace and style m'am... |

~Liz Being new to Passions, this is the first piece of your work I have read. I LOVED this poem..you have an amazing talent. And you are right, things are beyond our control sometimes...no matter how much we like to think we control our own destiny. Simply a beautiful poem that reflects a very important message! I look forward to reading more of your work. Take care, Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Im thinking that you should change you user name,because after reading your work the last few day`s I now see you as the QUEEN of poetry so your name should be Queen Elizabeth I now bow to the Queen for showing so much talent in yet another of your pieces. How true this one is. Thank you. |
