The Sweetest Coo of Mourning Dove There is a sacred place inside my heart Untouched by human hand or petalled flower A secret chamber love did not impart And not yet reaped by passion's ardent power There is a sweetness of the soul unknown Yet unexposed to brightness of the day For fear in all the visions it's been shown Of being tread upon along the way There is a wisdom hidden in my mind A reservoir of life's own taken path A treasure chest that none would ever find So deeply hid in sorrow's aftermath It seems the sweetest coo of mourning dove Has been in waiting for your precious love Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-09-2000).] |

It's very funny that I go by the name hoot owl when I liken myself to a dove taking flight. I like this Liz...it speakes to this soul of mine eager to take wing |

Whiskey, thanks, dear I wonder where you got the name of whiskey Liz Hoot, This speaks to your question of "holding back". Your poem touched a chord Liz |

It's very nice Elizabeth. As an artist drawing Birds of Prey I also have it with Wings as you may see Wings Nothing less Nothing more Just to guide Make you feel and realize Skies above have no confinements no boundaries no restraints Freedom, patience and forever more they allow your dreams to soar. Thanks for such a nice poem The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Helmut, Thank you for your poem! I didn't know you were an artist. I appreciate your comment Liz Sy, "What I say is what I feel And what I feel is in my heart My heart speaks only for itself And from its song it will not part" Thank you, Sy Love ya, LIz Denise, No, you are the one who never disappoints. Your #5000 sonnet is out of this world! Love ya, Liz |

Nudge..nudge...wake up Kamla! 'Huh?' Blink, blink - 'oh sorry...I was just drifting away in flight on the wings of a soaring poem, that bore me high in delight...' Marvellous.... K |
