Let Me Touch Your Hand Let me touch your hand one time Just as you’ve touched my heart Let me feel the warmth of you Before we have to part Hold my hand and let my spirit Soar into the sky Let me look with grace into The deepness of your eye Allow my senses just one glance Into the inner you The pool of life’s contentment The self, the heart, the true Then hold my spirit gently Like a petal soft and light Feather me with wings of gold So we as one take flight Breath my essence, touch my mind Delve deep into my want Wrap your dreams around the flow Of adoration’s font Carry me on moonbeam trails To places far and high Let me touch the sparkling star That glitters in my eye So warmly have you written words Into the shifting sands Before the tide comes rushing in Please let me touch your hand Ellizabeth Santos |

Ah Elizabeth I just love it when you write a poem like this....this is such a fabulous poem like you can write so well!! I like this part "Carry me on moonbeam trails To places far and high Let me touch the sparkling star That glitters in my eye." Makes me think of a song that just floats down from heaven and it's wonderful....I so much loved this one Elizabeth... "Before the tide comes rushing in Please let me touch your hand." I just love it!!!!keep up the good work dear lady....take care...ethome....... |

Elizabeth, The hand that you would touch anew Is waiting in the stars for you. The old one almost out of sight. A little to the dippers right. He's waiting there counting time. And reading every lovely rhyme. Sy |

Breath my essence, touch my mind Delve deep into my want Wrap your dreams around the flow Of adoration’s font =============================== Probably one of the finest stanzas I've ever read. Thank you. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

As I finger the keys - I note this will be but #19 - in a catalog of praise for a work that deserves not 19 but 2 to 4 times as many responses - When I pray about poetry writing - I ask for just a taste of your ability to communicate so beautifully - and perhaps someday the opportunity to meet the one who writes totally with her heart. |

Elizabeth, This was lovely writing as always. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Elizabeth, my dear friend... "These are the happiest of times, these are the saddest of times"... Something like that... I have to prepare myself to open and read your work of late, as I know you're pouring your heart and soul into the enscription of spiritual release... I have to be ready to shed my tears with you. Your heart and soul are strong... Your writing is exceptional.. I'm proud to call you my peer, and my love and support are yours... |

Nan, You have no idea how much you have honored me with your words. Even to refer to me as a peer brought tears, which are still flowing down my cheeks. For you to have been touched by my poem is a compliment beyond measure. Thank you for your well wishes and for your very kind comments. Liz |
