Poet Friends I strung a necklace made of stars Each star a poet from afar Each glimmering charm, a cherished friend A verse around each winding bend Soulmates without face or name Stars of glory without fame Minds of wonder pouring words Into the hymnal yet unheard Fresh new phrases light the page With wisdom of no time or age And words displayed in silver lines Of poetry in verse and rhymes Songs of beauty, words of will Heartaches cup of sorrow’s fill Joy unmeasured but by space Dimensions of aesthetic grace Captured visions etched inside The tenderness of orchid’s eye The rhythm of a seashell’s ear The silence of a falling tear I gather them and make a charm A star embraced with open arms Then string them on a golden chain And near my heart they will remain Elizabeth Santos |

"I gather them and make a charm A star embraced with open arms Then string them on a golden chain And near my heart they will remain" Beautiful piece Liz...such grace and beauty too, but we expect that of you, and are never left wanting. jwesley |

Captured visions etched inside The tenderness of orchid’s eye The rhythm of a seashell’s ear The silence of a falling tear This is beautifully said. Very thoughtful gesture. Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

you write so very well - I can picture your charm bracelet/necklace - and as you describe it - it takes on ever greater beauty than the individual pieces - the word synergy come to mind - |

Lizzy... I remember when I first met you...and those times we have talked on the phone. You light up my life you know. The internet is wonderful for the friendships formed - but the distance can hurt though. This is a beautiful poem my friend.

Elizabeth,this is such a wonderful piece, I think this is superb. Songs of beauty, words of will Heartaches cup of sorrows fill Joy unmeasured but by space Dimentions of aesthtic grace This is so beautiful and writen in stardust, I really love this one. Take care Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I dislike being so busy for one day that I take a chance on missing the pearls of the oceans, and the stars of the skies... well done, Lady Elizabeth, this is wonderful... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Liz, Please forgive me for being so late to replying to this. I have been in a bit of a move and still trying to settle in. You know how special you are to all of us here and this is one of the reasons why. You have a permanent place in my heart as a true friend and you are without a doubt one of my favorite poets here, but you already knew this didn't you. Keep on writing my dear friend and God bless you and yours. Hugs, Mark |
