The Lamppost The moonlight cast upon the street A shadow there forever sketched And footprints carved of lovers’ feet, Where in the dawn a sigh was etched The phrase of love is softly scrolled Upon the page of passing wind Unspoken words, that didn’t unfold Engraved forever deep within She wandered back through lamplight’s gown In shadows of remembered bliss Embossed upon the lamppost found Impressions of a lasting kiss Elizabeth Santos |

Ah Lizzie...I see a soft snowfall in this, the left-behind footprints of two under the lamplight...very soft, very beautiful, and haunting... Lovely! |
