The Treasure Hunter He searched the waters fathoms deep In shipwrecked craft of ancient steep For treasure of the ship marooned The pieces of eight and gold doubloon And would not e'er his spirit rest Without the galleon's treasure chest And heavy on his mind the weight Of gold doubloon and pieces of eight It was his quest for years of time This secret treasure he would find And then one day in deep lagoon He found the chest of gold doubloon Then raised it up to meet the sun This buried box of treasure won And set it on a whitened dune His cherished box of gold doubloon And when the chest was opened wide And wealth of gold doubloon he spied His thought then turned to passion's love Who waited in the hills above For she would be the winner of The treasure sought for sake of love And she would in her patience wait For riches found in pieces of eight But she had long since left that place For gold was not upon her face The treasure lost in deeds he'd done Was greater than the treasure won Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-25-1999).] |

Elizabeth, my friend - You just amaze me with your talents and the beauty of these lovely words. My, my ! The treasures within your mind and your heart are enough to make me feel that I've just looked inside the 'treasure chest'. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

WOW, Elizabeth! Amazing! And it holds a lesson to be learned as well. Merry Christmas! Elizabeth (the first) Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |
