Golden Words Golden words so gently placed upon a silver screen Flash into the nighttime space and touch an isle of green They move around the planet’s rings and soar the speed of sound They fly on little angel wings and bounce back to the ground It’s hard for me to understand that little things I say May fall into the waiting hand of someone far away Perhaps I wrote what’s in his heart, emotions of the day That touched a very tender part of what he couldn’t say The cardinal wing that rest’s upon the holly’s snowy limb May be a vision in a song that is unreal to him But conjures up the splendor of a little native bird That sings a song more tenderly than any I have heard So let my keyboard coursers fling like arrows into space Let the free born verses bring a smile to someone’s face Hopefully my poem will be a treasure they will hold Printed from a screen of silver into words of gold Sometimes words the speed of sound are thoughts that will not last Not to worry, I have found I cannot type that fast Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-07-2001).] |

Beautifully rendered Elizabeth ... your words always bring a smile to this face, and so very often, touch me with thoughts and emotions I too, am feeling. Another wonderfully flowing work of art from you!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Ah, Liz another masterpiece from your magic pen! I love this poem and the thought that we can touch a heart or even change a life with our poetry! Glorious! Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

Poetry's gift is its ablity to say what someone may have not been able to express and the world beyond these screens now allows our words and poetry to reach so much farther than books of printed poems ever could. Your words are always golden in this "little world here..Poetry Land"... and in my heart take care sweet poet jm Am I loved by my words Will my vows weather the tide Bended knees can forsee all the rhythms of life And a heart can be held without pride ~Vante |

May I just say that this is beautiful, and that I have often thought about how far around the world my words go sometimes also? |

Thank you, dear poets and dear hearts, for the lovely remarks. You all, too have touched my heart every day, from New Zealand to South Africa, your words bounce over to me in seconds and warm my days. I just noticed that every two lines except the last two in the second to last stanza have inner rhyming. I think I just forgot about it. I bet no one even noticed the effort. Oh, well. Thank you all Liz |

It is perfect all of it. Sometimes emotion takes precedence over form and thank God! "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |

"placed, space" "rings, wings" "understand, hand" "heart, part" Oh I noticed dear Liz ... (smiling here) ... of course I did! Every nuance you add is a treasure that makes your words flow so perfectly!  Couldn't help but come back for another read my friend, much enjoyed, Best wishes, /Kit |
