To You my Poet Friends: Page of White To grasp the power of belief And scroll it on a golden leaf For other souls to then behold Is much more precious than the gold To seek a dream, though worn with age Inscribing it on parchment page Is but a gift of hope you give To those who never learned to live The visions etched in prism light When written on a page of white Bring rainbow colors to one’s life Enveloping the moment’s strife The beauty in the hills of green When placed upon a paper’s sheen Become alive, an Eden home That flourishes beneath God’s dome The joy of love, the pain of loss That dwell within an inkwell’s gloss Are treasured words that cause a tear To fall upon a listening ear To lay your heart in morning’s glow On crest of crystal virgin snow Is but a dainty print that gleams Of who you are or what it seems A poem that speaks in depth and grace That mirrors eyes and soul and face Will find a harbor in the minds Of all of those who’ve read your rhymes A poem is made of words you sift Ethereal sands, a treasured gift Elizabeth Santos (And this is what you do, my friends, when I read your poetry) [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 06-29-2001).] |

Elizabeth I love all the verses and thier separate descriptions of the joy of writing poems.......I especially love this summation .... "A poem that speaks in depth and grace That mirrors eyes and soul and face Will find a harbor in the minds Of all of those who’ve read your rhymes A poem is made of words you sift Ethereal sands, a treasured gift" Truly are treasured gifts just as you are a treasure yourself.....I really enjoyed this and once again compliment you! |
