Lady of Night Softly she enters in veils of white lace Lightly she treads on the footprint of space Slowly to pure crystal songs she will spin And tap on your window of dreams to come in Lift up your shades to the songs of the night She fills your eyes with a dance of delight One who awakens the sleep from your breast Will give you new life as an honored bequest Waiting to feel the exquisite soft kiss She caresses your skin with a joy such a this Let her come lightly to one who can slice Into depths of her silver white curtain of ice So cold to the one who has not seen the light So warm to the heart this sweet lady of night So lovely her slipper, so flowing her gown She follows the ways of the sky and the ground Open your window, the show has begun The little stars silently fall one by one She whispers to you as she touches your face And treads, oh so lightly, in footsteps of grace She is a lady of beauty and charm She sweeps the pain from the chambers of harm She brings delight to the place she is born And spreads out her mantle of white in the morn In all of my dreams there is nothing I know That can equal the beauty of fresh fallen snow Elizabeth Santos |

Oh me either, nothing is like the twinkle it makes. I wanted to put a beautiful snowglobe on here, but we have been asked to cut back on the graphics useage - so use your imagination okay? Envision a snowglobe with a fairy in the snow, isn't she pretty? LOL. Oh Liz, I am pulling your leg, on one of the prettiest poems you have done, forgive me, the devil got me! I am trying to be so good too as Santa is coming to town. ~*~ The Very Best Of The Season To You And Yours ~*~ |
