River of Dreams Meandering river, a ribbon of grace Kindly deliver my heart to that place Voices are calling me, drawing me there To places downriver, an island somewhere Silver gray river, with moon sprinkled crest Midnight forgiver of doubts I’ve possessed With swift gentle strength, abundantly blessed To carry me off on my heart’s golden quest Meandering river, collector of streams Serpentine giver of wishes and dreams Steadily flowing life’s hours away Carry me off to a place far away Winding old river, So gently you flow Blindly you slither to places below Perhaps you can take me to Galveston bay Perhaps he’ll forgive senseless words gone astray Meandering river, of twinkling gleams Serpentine giver of wonders and dreams Elizabeth Santos |

Reminded me of a Billy Joel song, and this flowed so beautifully, Elizabeth, every line but I believe my favorite is :Midnight "forgiver of doubts I’ve possessed", although it's hard to choose. The words were tightly fight together and the entire piece kept in harmony with the title and the message. I truly enjoyed this one. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Silver gray river, with moon sprinkled crest Midnight forgiver of doubts I’ve possessed With swift gentle strength, abundantly blessed To carry me off on my heart’s golden quest just gorgeous... ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Elizabeth, this was wonderful... I loved the way it seemed to dance, and the way you described the river made it seem like I could see it. Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |
