The Awakening As I awoke from silent sleep One moonless night in shadows deep A dream was dancing in my head And spreading warmth across my bed I saw the fantasy so clear Of love alive, but never near And on that night of waking bliss I thought I felt his tender kiss From sweet imagination's feel Somehow the dream turned into real His love so distant in the past Was here to comfort me at last And now I ask how can this be This miracle that's come to me Do I deserve so great a gift That's come my spirit to uplift Where once I lay alone in sleep And dreams were all I had to keep Now fantasy is just a word Of dreams and songs I'd always heard I feel him lying next to me The man who was my fantasy In dark of night in shadows deep As I awake from silent sleep Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 03-18-2000).] |

Breathtaking...I too, have laid down the chase of fantasy and fairy-tale, and am on that same mission to find someone who is REALLY there...someone I can see and touch, not just this keyboard. You are one lucky girl if you truly have your fantasy laying beside you at night. One day, that will be me too! (Not laying next to you, er...you know what I mean!) LOL That came out wrong I think! hehehe I can always relate to your words...Thanks for everything Liz, you have been the one poet in here, that I truly respect, and find comfort in your poetry. I know that I can always count on your works when I need a little bit of comfort or understanding. You have no idea how much you've helped me, just your presence here alone. I haven't always replied to your work, but I have always read through tears. Thank you. pFF |

Liz...may I be the first to say this is absolutely perfect!! Perfect in its rhyme, its rhythm and its content!! You have surpassed yourself with this as it is perhaps one of the best pieces I've seen from you and mind you I've seen hundreds of impressive works from you. One final word to add here PUBLISH!!!! |

To be aware, in the night, of the presence of one so longed for...what bliss and serenity, Liz. You've given this reader such an enchanting sensation with the reading of this lovely poem. Thank you! ~ Claire |

Elizabeth, God you can write, This is exquisite. Into the world of non exist, To fly the air of dreams persist. It's here my essence you did find And took away the sense of blind. Love Sy |
