Summer Pond I walked the edge of summer pond To places where my heart was fond On verdant grassy bed of green I sat to view the tranquil scene Then leaning toward the water’s edge Beside the lush of shady hedge I saw reflections of the skies And likeness of my face and eyes I walked the edge of season’s time To places that I left behind Along the softness of a dream I sat to view life’s flowing stream Then leaning toward reflection’s truth Beside a blushing kiss of youth I saw the depth, the total sum Of where love’s been to where it’s come I walked the edge of memories To places where my heart was free Along the soft and tender grass I laid my head in visions past Then leaning toward the summer pond The seasons that have come and gone Reflected in the glassy glaze The loneliness of all my days I walked where fantasies depart Along the fringes of my heart And there I laid to rest my head Upon the softness of my bed Then leaning toward the looking glass I saw the lush of hedge and grass In places where I once was fond On grassy green by summer pond Elizabeth Santos |

Liz, my friend, ----------- I walked ... ... ... Then Leaning ... ... ... ----------- This is a beauty in form, content, images and the feel of it ... if I were to choose the lines I liked most, that would be the entire poem on view again... Now, when are you going to start your classes to teach me how to write?  Regards, Sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 05-09-2001).] |

Liz, this was lovely, I had to read it twice. Reflections, longing and completeness all summed up to read so well. |

You have a gift for meter, but more importantly, one for touching another with your words - Thank you for this one. It's lovely. Kathleen Blake |
