This Morning Ah, the air is fresher now A morning song is sung A nighttime storm has brought Delicious sweetness to the lung My head is bathed in fragrances From rain that came and went Aroma of the wet of earth And tree limb’s woody scent Droplets still hang heavy on the Flower and drooping bough The petal faces poised to spread Sun’s rays across their brow They’ve cleansed in wet, and soon will bask In warmth of nature’s light And I reach out to dissipate The sorrow of the night The scent of sweetness fills my soul It enters through my skin Allowing me to feel the warmth Of pleasure deep within Renewed once more, this weary heart In early morning’s haze Breaths in the life and nourishment And hope of better days Come out, dear sun, and put A brilliant glaze on everything Light prism droplets on the rose And make my spirit sing Elizabeth Santos |

I do love dawn... Seeing the sun rise over the ocean (or mountains?..  ) is exhilarating... Nice one, Elizabeth.. |

After rain the bare branches of the trees wear crystal the sun peers through each gem and makes a rainbow I love the earth after rain...you have brought it to me so clearly with your beautiful poem...we haven't had rain for such a long time. |

Wonderfully picturesque Liz ... I could feel the freshness of the cleansing rain through your words ... bringing with it, a cleansing of the soul. Beautifully written! Best wishes, /Kit |

Your poetry should always be read aloud, as your poems flow so beautifully... very lovely poem. |

 As I sink slowly in the West vision enhanced by reading the best of all that could be or all that is beaming so bright in our "Liz" Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-13-2000).] |

Oh, Elizabeth, every day you are like the ice-cream truck singing round the block. Such a treat! Yum. I love the way you write of nature, and I love your sweetness, and bright spirit. Thank you. |

There's something quite peaceful about the morning time and you've captured it so beautifully. |

Tyank you all so very much for your lovely comments. I'm laughing at being compared to an ice cream truck, but I got the message, Rosemary. I appreciated all of your wonderful remarks Liz |

I second the ice cream truck...your poetry comes in so many flavors, Liz, it's impossible to choose a favorite...just ring that little bell and I'll always come running |

These are the poems that lift my spirits - bring joy to my step and really brighten my day - don't know how I missed it the moment it was posted |
