Silent Music There is music that’s swirling around in my heart Yearning for lyrics that I should impart This delicate song, this incredible tune Must be written in haste or will vanish too soon The most glorious visions like petals unfold And would be lost forever if never been told Imagine the splendor and joy of a rose Hidden deep in a place that the world never knows The dreams and the magical thoughts that are ours When written on paper have mystical powers In finely spun phrases caressing the page A poem left to treasure for many an age There is music unheard, there are visions untold There are secrets the spirit will never unfold There is silence of word, there is silence of tongue Depriving our hearts of a song left unsung How sad silent music that’s swirling around The sweetest refrains within hearts ever bound And so from my pen, my true sentiment flows And thus my descendants will capture the rose Elizabeth Santos |

Liz; Exquisite as usual, Our own personal song is what you hear perhaps, your song that you sing to God, alone. I tried to call you today,, but can't get through...Love, Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Liz, This is so lovely. So well written. Even after we are gone, our words shall live forever in the hearts of those we touched. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Liz, I'm sorry but I've always seemed to wait to respond. You remember how I used to bring you up from 70 pages gone by. I miss those days. Your words are some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. Shoot... I'm fumbling for words. Prayers are still coming your way. I've been up all night again... Looks like good 'ol Bill Yeats has been around too. I shouldn't be telling you... We're, (RJ and I are) starting to miss you and you haven't even really been gone. Tony is still my screen saver but now of all things he's reminding me to pray for you. Ironic how he can still speak to me... you just take your own dear sweet time Mrs. Tony Santos. So much much love dale and RJ. love and prayers |

This is a keeper, very, very well done. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |
