The Colors of March Still in the grips of chilly misty haze A frosty coat on fragile morning dews The lacey white of winter's sugar glaze The warming earth of March's windy days A softening of step beneath my shoes Still in the grips of chilly misty haze Now change the tides of lingering winter days As Mother Nature subtly subdues The lacey white of winter's sugar glaze In God's own time, the birth of bright bouquets Beneath the earth lie springtime's hidden hues Still in the grips of chilly misty haze For love will come in cherry blossom days And take away these frozen winter blues The lacey white of winter's sugar glaze My heart awaits the pastel painted maze Of redbud pink and periwinkle blues Still in the grips of chilly misty haze The lacey white of winter's sugar glaze Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-11-2000).] |

Sy, There are lots of things I cannot do Like writing poetry like you I cannot ski or run the track Coordinating skills I lack The only indication I can give I believe that I know how to live Thank you for those sweet words Liz |

What an absolutely beautiful poem Liz! I know that you're being humble but I think that you write just as good as Seymour. In fact, you two are like twins. Nathan |

Elizabeth: You should have these on a calendar...  HUGS Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |
