A Basket of Bliss Fineness is the thread of life that’s woven into silk Sweetness is the nectar drops of honeysuckle milk Delicateness is painted onto lily petal's white Joy is soaring on the edge of eagle wing in flight Exuberance is plunging down the waterfall of rage Strength is hammered into granite’s eons of its age Love is branded on the face of a white and chestnut mare Adoration is in the heart of the foal whose in her care Beauty is the lense of the eye capturing a rose Wonderment is anywhere imagination goes Splendor is our lust for gazing into midnight’s sky And all that shines before us is so quickly passing by If I could somehow gather a basket full of bliss It would contain your precious love, and in it, all of this Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-19-2001).] |

Beauty is the lense of the eye capturing a rose Wonderment is anywhere imagination goes Splendor is our lust for gazing into midnight’s sky And all that shines before us is so quickly passing by If I could somehow gather a basket full of bliss It would contain your precious love, and in it, all of this ====================== what a perfectly beautiful way to start my day ... a sonnet by Liz ... poetic melodies to sing in the sunrise ... just so lovely madame poetess  When to the sessions of sweet silent thought, I summon up remembrance of things past ... I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought. ~Shakespeare~ |

Elizabeth, Instead of a basket of bliss How about a basket of kiss? You deserve it for this wonderful poem. Love Sy |
