His Extraordinary Mind The first time ever that I read His lovely verse of poetry His genius in the floating phrase Completely overpowered me Extraordinary is the mind To voice the truth in mellow ways And sing so sweetly to my ear With gentle touch and splendid phrase The tempered wisdom of his writing Fell my spirit to the ground Engulfing it in lyric's pleasure Immersing me in its surround A syntax of a different hue And words that meet with heaven's accord A melody to please the heart Harmonious strings of coupled word So now I sit and wait each morrow To be consumed by feathery phrase His mind has brought the sun to shine Upon the future of my days Elizabeth Santos |

I only wish this were written about me. Good read, Liz. I'm sure the individual you are speaking of will be very flattered. |

Elizabeth, I cannot catch up with the past. I am too slow to catch its cast. But I can build us a future bridge. On a phantom ship of a new voyage. And if I must sail on cloud nine. Please come up and see me sometime. Love ya, Sy |

Another beautiful poem Liz, however do you do it? =o) ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
