The Silence of Love You are here with me now, in the deep of the night If only in warmth and in thoughts of delight Your touch is the essence that wraps me in love It’s the vision of splendor that I’m dreaming of Your love is unspoken in shadows of dawn If only in memories that I dwell upon Your words are the comfort that wraps me in love It’s the cooing I hear of the sweet mourning dove Your touch is the tenderness, gentle and kind If only the closeness that I’ve left behind Your kiss is the passion that wraps me in love The burning desires that I’m thinking of How slowly the shadows so silently creep Awakening visions from pleasure of sleep The dreams of your loving that I’m fondest of As I open my eyes to the silence of love Elizabeth Santos |

Your love is unspoken in shadows of dawn If only in memories that I dwell upon Your words are the comfort that wraps me in love It’s the cooing I hear of the sweet mourning dove Your touch is the tenderness, gentle and kind If only the closeness that I’ve left behind Your kiss is the passion that wraps me in love The burning desires that I’m thinking of ===================== your rhymes are so divine ... this is such a beautiful bittersweet piece Liz, touching ... heartstring playing ... take care sweet poet  Tomorrow holds only mystery And who's to say what might be But in you I've found a love so strong The sun and the moon look on in jealousy ~VH~ |

Oh, Liz, tears sprang to my eyes when I read this! I've been there, but not exactly like you. I do know, however, the waking from joy to a reality of pain and loneliness. I pray for you, and think of you often. You and your family are so dear to me. My heart is with you. You have put this into such beautiful poetry, just like you always do. You could publish a book so easily! You are so prolific, and talented - probably more than one book - if anyone could, you could. I'm so glad you're still writing. I haven't been here much lately - so busy - but I'm so glad you're still here. I'll be back more soon. . The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |
