Touching There’s a place where I bathe in the stars of the night Where a million white glitters cast glorious light Where nothing can hide from the light of the moon That makes icy white snowdrift of tropical dune The night sky descends upon water and beach A heavenly blanket within fingers reach I extend out my arms to a twinkling star That has beckoned my eye and my hand from afar There are places like this where a man touches moon In the wild of the earth, in the hidden lagoon In the vast desert plain and the isle of dreams On the crest of a mountain and mid oceans streams There are places of wonder where sky meets the earth Where the faith of a man was at night given birth For he saw earth and heaven embraced as a whole And his tears wet the dessert with rain from his soul It is there that a spring bubbled up from the ground And red poppies bloomed freely within its surround They grew in the day, but were born of the night When a soul touched the heaven’s most glorious Light Elizabeth Santos |

You took me on a trip to every place I have been that is hidden from the lights of man and only the light of the heavens is there to calm the soul. Such beautiful words, superb imagery, and even better cadence and flow you gave us today. I truely enjoyed this piece and will over and over I am sure. |

When I read this, I felt as if I had just been freshly bathed in a beautiful bright white light, and then sat down in a field of brilliant poppies and sage. |
