Wings of a Poet Thought comes to surface the crest of the sea From depths of infinity’s fathoms below Dividing it’s splendor that now comes to be Among little boats that embark in the flow Each boat is a word in the afternoon sun Skimming the waters, caressing the waves Then lined up in order, the songs yet unsung Little white sails falling into a phrase The phrase is a thread of contentment that floats On white wings of silk on horizons of red Pieces of thought carried off by the boats From depths of the mind, yet uncharted, unsaid Phrase after phrase swept by currents and wind Unknown to the pen which direction to bend Until all the phases pour out from within Each row is a fragment, each boat is a friend Soaring to space, lifting off from the sea Each verse a sonata in rhythms and rhyme The sails of the little boats, silk feathers free White wings of a dove in the crimson of time Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-14-2001).] |

A beautiful vision of the sea of Tranquility. I was captured and held prisoner but escaped by the awe of magic which your words held. Indeed beautiful. |

I love this, and will keep it to re-read whenever I think I am in danger of drowning in life's misery. |

*sigh* the music of this poem sounds like the music I listen to when I am near the ocean....it flows beautifully and leaves behind a feeling of peace. I love it. **Hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

~Phrase after phrase swept by currents and wind Unknown to the pen which direction to bend Until all the phases pour out from within Each row is a fragment, each boat is a friend Soaring to space, lifting off from the sea Each verse a sonata in rhythms and rhyme The sails of the little boats, silk feathers free White wings of a dove in the crimson of time~ beautiful....just beautifully penned. another gem from your hand dear Liz...
