IF If time were of the wayward years And space were of the sea If breezes sang the words unsaid That mark a destiny Would you have chosen then, my love, To linger there with me When moon arose, an orange globe Reflecting soft delight Illuminating moments etched In warm and gentle night Could this, the stage of youthful days Turn wrong back into right A soft guitar plucked little stars From heaven one by one And serenaded silver streaks Of memories waking sun The blissful night of Capricorn Had swiftly come undone If we were there once more upon The fringe of crystal sands I think that I could say the words That filtered through my hands Instead ,that night of music‘s moon Is sifted sand in memories tune Elizabeth Santos |

 Right place, right time. This slipped off my tongue as I read it...and I'm serious. Where's that book of poetry that you should have gathered up by now?  My library shelf has a spot with YOUR name on it!  |

Elizabeth, If time were of the wayward years And space were of the sea If breezes sang the words unsaid That mark a destiny Would you have chosen then, my love, To linger there with me Yes I'd be there in the dawn. But you would not be born. Sy |

Sunshine, I have eight books accumulated, working on the ninth. I just don't know what to do with them, hehe. Collecting dust I appreciate the thought, but how to start? Haven't had a chance to think about it You are sweet Sy. LOL enjoyed your poem. That would have been a 20 year serenade on the beach! Happy Anniversary! |

Elizabeth, wonderful writing once again. The book must be on its way. If written words were not enough, the world would echo voice To tell you just how lovely is each cadence line of choice You fill me with a music which can sooth an aching heart Your rhyme and every meaning is so true right from the start Sincerely Rick |

If we were there once more upon The fringe of crystal sands I think that I could say the words That filtered through my hands Instead, that night of music's moon Is sifted sand in memorie's tune I loved this one, Liz... and Karilea is right about a book... You should be published  ~ a hug from a chipmunkLyra |
