Below the Mist Beneath the clouds, below the mist Within the haze there does exist A secret thought , an unknown fact A light of hope, to be exact Beneath this woman’s aging face A vision of another place Encapsuled in the sphere of time The memory of an hour devine Hidden deep behind this smile A truth defying self denial A heart containing unseen tears A secret held for years and years The tears of joy and pain are mixed Like falling wax on candle sticks Below the glowing flame above Fast disappears the wick of love Behind this role of motherhood Blanketed by deeds of good There dwells a heart that never healed But held a love it well concealed Below the early morning mist In dewdrops’s dome there does exist A prismed light so truly blessed Unnoticed there by all the rest Elizabeth Santos Elizabeth Santos |

Wow the heart can truely keep its secrets  Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

The tears of joy and pain are mixed Like falling wax on candle sticks Below the glowing flame above Fast disappears the wick of love Behind this role of motherhood Blanketed by deeds of good There dwells a heart that never healed But held a love it well concealed Below the early morning mist In dewdrops’s dome there does exist A prismed light so truly blessed Unnoticed there by all the rest ======================= Shhhhhhhh ...your secrets safe with us sweet poet  this is wonderful Liz... love the dance i took with the cadence and rhyme .. and the mystical essence of its emotions read like a sweetly whispered secret... magic from your "confessing" poets pen later-mysweetsecretgarden-gator me |

Below the early morning mist In dewdrops’s dome there does exist A prismed light so truly blessed Unnoticed there by all the rest Absolutely beautiful Elizabeth Maree |

no matter the subject - If I want to read the most lyrical - smooth flowing - I can count on you to provide - BUT so much more - freshness of rhyme - AND depth of feeling from someone who has many more dimensions. this is a 5 * poem I'll treasure |

I'm so touched that you can set us all above the mist. Your getting to have many "Jewels" around here. Just when I think you've out done yourself your back again with diamond. Love ya, Dale |

Wonderful dear Liz. There is such a beauty in memories held close to our hearts. Sometimes they come quietly back to the forefront, if only for a fleeting smile of remembrance and warmth that they bring to our souls. Beautiful sentiments. Best wishes and many hugs to you, /Kit |

And so the heart spills forth a bit of it's secret to make room for life itself. This was a wonderful write my friend and I know that the heart holds much in it and sometimes it is hard to release it but then there are those times that it is just necessary to. You have done that here but seems as if it is not done spilling yet. Wonderful as always |
