This Morning's pleasure This morning’s pleasure was to be A robin perched in dogwood tree And cheeping loudly in request I back away from near her nest I took another distant pose Away from nest in arbored rose Unpondered thoughts soon came to me Of what would be her ecstasy What makes her heart in pleasure sing New fallen rain, an early spring A breeze across a wing aslide The freedom of a feather’s glide Discovery of some clay to mold A source of straw to firmly hold A nest to place life’s offering Survival of all three this spring Arising with the flock in fall As hundreds gather to the call And flutter forth with ruffling sounds To find their winter’s feeding grounds Or could a robin’s ecstasy Be perching in a dogwood tree Just swinging there in simple bliss On breezy sunny days like this Elizabeth Santos |

The magical and blessful life of Liz. I love the way you share your visions with us. They are so clear and so vivid that they are so easy for us to see. Beautiful penning from you as always my friend. |

This is so natural and beautiful, Elizabeth! I love nature, and this one put me right in the middle of a peaceful morning garden. Great job of writing, my friend... Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

"A breeze across a wing aslide The freedom of a feather’s glide" Oh Liz ... I just love how your thoughts flow! What a beautiful read this was ... surmising nature's thoughts, as I so often try to do myself as I watch from a distance. I absolutely loved this! Best wishes, /Kit |

you took me back with this - to my week in Virginia on the shore of the Chesapeake- and an early morning study of Cardinals as I sat in solitude at dawn while everyone else slept - thank you |
