Can you tell me when I loved you? Was it in the spring of youth In dimensions of a dream Within parameters of truth? Do you remember where I loved you? Was it in a distant place? Or was it in the close and intimate Soft shadows of my face? How did I love you? Was I silent? Or did oceans sound the throb Of a heartbeat pulsing passions Pouring from the heart of God? Why did I love you? Was it only An illusion of the soul Or was love itself the snowy peak Of life’s most sacred goal? It was all of this and more It was the echo sweetly heard Of each heartbeat, of each vision Of each movement, of each word You’re the lifeline that I cling to You’re the measure of my depth You’re the beacon for my footstep And the reason for my breath Your love was womb of my existence At the moment of my birth And survives the timeless change Of every season of the earth Elizabeth Santos |

Oh Elizabeth, this is beautiful. You are one of my favorite poets. I am glad there is a way to look up our favorite poets, because I do that often. |

Dear Liz...I have loved you since first I read you and more after I met you, and still within the quiet time of days I miss your ways. |
