A Moment's Time Little girl in thralls of play Unaware the time of day Her heart immersed in nursery rhyme That sings within a moment's time Giddy schoolgirl with a friend Looks not toward the coming bend Her spirit follows wind blown chime And dances in the moment's time Young lady with the golden hair Taking flight at moment's dare No slight concern or thought in mind Beyond a single moment's time Then love awakes the tender heart And holds her close in moonless dark The hearts so young and love sublime Don't beat beyond the moment's time The spirit walks a chosen path Without concern for aftermath A whimsome soul within its prime Thinks not beyond a moment's time A mother laden with her young With faded dreams her heart has sung No time to breath a weary sigh Each chore is done in moment's time Now in the middle of the night With only lamp to shed a light She writes her poetry in rhyme And lives within the moment's time Elizabeth Santos |

In the moments in your mind, you touched a chord within mine. How breathtakingly beautiful I find your rhyme ... never losing sight of the moments in time. Spirits walking through your heart, leave footprints to lead others to just who you are. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I don't have time to sleep. It robs me of my waking. Well, if you think about it ... sometimes it just seems that even though I'm sleeping I still write in my dreams.  Good morning, dear friend. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Elizabeth, This moment in time that I read your words Was like the song of that lost bird My life is lived for the moment in time That I shall have her heart, and she mine. But for now, my heart is here in my world But I still long for that lost little girl. She is a woman now, the time is not her own But with love and luck, our love will grow. Sven ------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, What beckoned heart could so induce So many tears your heart does find This is not a meeting place for hearts But is a meeting place for minds If throbbing heartstrings is your goal You'd better look within your soul For heart and soul upon the plate Are things that you can't separate And mind is driven by the soul So state your reason and your goal A game of hearts we do not play A loving spirit - any day Lets get on with poetry And let such notions drift to sea Thanks for reading and commenting Elizabeth |

Dear Sven, Out of character, out of line I've gone way out of bounds this time Please excuse my little verse Just a little bit too terse I may have miscontrued your rhyme So please forgive me just this time I welcome you to the poets page And will your poetry engage So please may we be friends in rhyme And passionate poet's til end of time Accept my hand and warm embrace And put my manners in their place Forgive me Elizabeth |

I hate to interrupt this rhyme Thoughts moving in syncopated time, But simply need this time to say You have brightened up my day. You may now continue with your word, Now that my opinions been heard. |
