The Flower of My Delight Still man denies the spirit word But cannot stop the ever wind So swift it blows through open time Like fairy dust to life's within Intangible fingers touch to touch The essence fills the empty light Unspoken warmth then blankets me It is the flower of my delight It is there in unknown why And spirit laughs at mind's deny For time to mind is hour known But spirit's time is all its own Elizabeth Santos |

Though I find the title out of step, this is a truly wondrous verse. Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

And the winds of change shall not this delicate flower move, nor the tides, nor the thundering rush of rain...for it is yet the strongest flower I have seen...Kudos, Elizabeth Knowlege tempered by wisdom...Wisdom tamed by youth. |

Beautiful, Elizabeth. To the world you might be just one person but to one person you might just be the world. |

Thank you all very much for your kind remarks. I think this verse could be interpreted in several ways, in a religious context, etc, But what I was writing about is when someone is with you spiritually, and that is something that person cannot always control.At times I can sense when someone is thinking about me or is with me spiritually and it gives me the same feeling of happiness and pleasure as a beautiful flower. And so the phrase "to spend time with someone" has no meaning in the spiritual encounter. That's it. Very simple! |
