Don't Wake up the Sun Fall gently, sweet dew drops, don’t wake up the sun Or let purple shadows of dawn come undone Hold on to the lingering fresh early mist For these are the moments that I will be kissed Don’t waken the lily or petals of rose Let dew settle soft before everything glows Still wrapped in a blanket of deep morning haze For these are the most joyous hours of my days When I am awakened by sounds of a lark Which echo so sweetly through mist in the dark I capture these moments, exquisite and true With misty eyed tenderness wakening you The vapor of dawn is the dew of delight The mist of enchantment that came through the night It settles in droplets upon every blade Reflecting the beauty of love that we made Don’t hurry the dawn through the fresh early mist For this is the moment that I will be kissed Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-23-2001).] |

Hold on to the lingering fresh early mist For these are the moments that I will be kissed lovely, just lovely ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Lizzy..this is just gorgeous...wow. You can't even TRY to tell me what you keep saying... this gem from the lady who 'thinks in meter, and thinks in rhyme' - I well believe it. And Marg(y) - thanks for hug..   K...and I have found a lifetime can be lived in one moment... |

It's so beautifully written that I'm out of words........................................ Thank you, for sharing such a wonderful feeling. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

I like that too Elizabeth thinks in meter thinks in rhyme a very good description of your poetry and if you add the sage of humanity that always permeates your work then you have the quality that makes thinking that way a gift to our eyes and mind. As usual I love to read your work so much....take care....ethome The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
