Words of a poet are dreams of the dawning Morning to morning and season to year Summer and winter the silence is calling From stars of the galaxy, distant and clear What do you see from your place in the universe Phrases of beauty in mirrors of time Stars are eternal as love everlasting Verses, eternal to lovers of rhyme Tides ever changing are mysteries of wonder Meadows of peace are God’s soft lullabies Rhythms of life pulse the depth of the heavens Poetry echoes the width of the skies Elizabeth Santos |

Verses, eternal to lovers of rhyme ~*~ Oh my Lady Santos... here in my state is all that is unstately...as the "arts" funding will be disappearing....and it is up to people like you, who make it all worthwhile, to keep people aligned with the real world...for even though at times ours is a dream world? Without dreams, to what would humanity aspire? Beautiful, and I thank you! |

Poetry, as quiet as it is kept . . . rocks! So does your poem . . . ~ If you don't want gays in the military, make the uniforms ugly. ~ |

Wonderful write, Elizabeth. A different take on my piece with the same title but so very, very, much better and with more ... hope for poetry. Enjoyed the read very much. Helen |

...wonderful write. This: "Phrases of beauty in mirrors of time" reminded me of those sacred words, "apples of gold in pictures of silver." Very well done...enjoyed it all |
