The Moon is Calling Your Name The sky is ablaze, just for you, just for you All the stars have appeared just for you They came out to reflect in the depth of your eyes And to dance in their glittering blue The moon has appeared crescent white, opal light Hanging there, peering down throught the trees It waits for the face it is longing to touch With a soft prismed glow in the breeze The samba is playing,, it is looking for you As it lures you with songs that you love It remembers the night that you danced with the stars And the sky lit your hair from above When the samba first played, you were radiant then You enraptured the stars and the moon Now in sorrow you care not to dance any more And just dream in the dark of your room The moon has been calling you name, dearest one And the stars will fill teardrops with light The samba is calling to dance once again So come out now and sway through the night The pain maybe lasts for a day, for a life But the Samba, it never will die And the stars will be there just for you, just for you So come out now and dance ‘neath the sky Your face is the moonlight, your eyes are the stars Let the world take a look at how lovely you are [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 06-14-2000).] |

Oh Liz, this is a beautiful poem. I know this feeling well, feeling that the entire world must have been created for this person... great job. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

I love the way this piece seems to dance! It's so beautiful, I am at a loss for words and can't seem to say anymore. Always, Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

And the stars will fill teardrops with light Elizabeth....you amaze me! I have never read a poem from you that I didn't like. Though, I'm always in such a rush I don't always have time to reply. I think this has to be one of the best I've read!  The image that is etched in my mind will never fade. As always, you inspire me. Absolutely beatiful! ~Sheri |

Oh Elizabeth, what inspiration you give us, one and all...and what a hauntingly lovely masterpiece. I am so glad I do not turn green [altho it is a lovely color on me] when I stand in awe of your many fine talents, for you paint such lovely tapestries in the name of love!

never get tired of hearing about the moon, and this was great! I love it. Kathleen "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |
