The Silence of a Tear To weep from the heart is to let beauty pour For teardrops are words that fall gently and pure The wetness of life in a moment of haze So silent the lyrics, so tender the phrase Whatever the reason for tears to depart Whatever the season, whatever the heart The chamber that harbors the most treasured dreams Is a garden of loveliness nurtured from seeds A tear is a flower that’s plucked from the vine Exuding its nectar of sweet crystal wine A tear from the heart that so silently seeps Like a petal of softness caressing the cheeks Elizabeth Santos April 14, 2002 |

Ah, a tug of heart from strings of love a touch of grace that angels above shall not dare compare, each treasured touch is a moment, rare... |

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this too brought a tear to my eye reading this, I too always see tears as such beautiful things we should never hide and I believe every tear has a lyric, a note that is longing to be sung, and in crying these tears a loving heart is always in symphony! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is lovely, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

To weep from the heart is to let beauty pour No wonder my mirror cringes whenever I walk near... I've poured all my beauty away! *G* Sorry. *G* slaps hands There are times when a bad joke takes control of my fingers... when they simply long to express appreciation for the beauty that's poured from your pen. *S* This is so lovely, Elizabeth... it touches the heart with lyrical grace. *S* |

THank you, dear hearts for your kind words. Yes, a week at Nan's did do me some good as I hadn't written in a long time. Being among those great poets of passions warms the heart and sooths the mind, just what I needed. THank you all Liz |

Liz...tears cleanse the soul and in the company of friends, tears can wash away fears and past failures and enable us to look ahead to brighter tomorrows. So soft and gentle are your tears like the words you pen so gracefully upon our hearts. I wish I could take away all your tears so that they no longer blur the image and allow you to see the beautiful, graceful, caring person we all see when we look at you. You, my dear, are priceless. Love, Ruth |
