Darkness Silence is song to the lonely of heart Rose is a thorn that regret will impart Sky is unseen to the eyes looking down Small is the goblet where sorrow is drowned Silence is nothing but spirit’s sweet song A wound from a thorn helps the spirit grow strong The stars strung in phrases that are written for you Fill up your chalice with honey’s sweet dew A heart that is closed keeps its eyes on the ground A heart that is giving can never look down A poet in darkness sees soft lullabies And the splendor of roses when closing his eyes Elizabeth Santos Oct 25, 2002 |

 The stars strung in phrases that are written for youFill up your chalice with honey’s sweet dew A heart that is closed keeps its eyes on the ground A heart that is giving can never look down These glimmer, Lady Santos.... |

Silence is golden, there's hope in a rose, we are beholden to words that you chose |

Your use of alliteration added to the lilting cadence of this fine piece of writing. And you, dear Elizabeth, are one who can see the beauty of a rose even if your eyes were closed. ---Lovely Linda |

 (sigh) Know always that the rose will bloom for you and the thorn that may sting will be compensated with the perfume the dew and the soft rain provides in a gentle spring shower! (kiss on cheek) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, God Bless You, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

A poet in darkness sees soft lullabies And the splendor of roses when closing his eyes You are the epitome of a true poet, Liz... Your poems are wonderfully soft lullabies, which ring of the truth  ~ loving chipmunk hugsLyra |
