Love is a white dove, born of your essence Wrought in the presence of stars of the night Blessed by the moonbeams, Light of your daydreams Glowing through dove wings As feathers take flight Dove sings a song that has never forsaken As true love awakens the beauty in you Listen the soft song Bathed in a sweet balm Wrapped in the smooth calm Of murmuring coo Love is the light breeze lifting a white wing Rising and sailing, higher and free Swirling in love’s twist Out of the cloud’s mist Wild and sun- kissed In pure ecstasy Quivering heart beat, purring with pleasure No one can measure the song of a dove Lulling the dark night Into the dawn’s light Ready to take flight The power of love Just as the winds lift wings of a white dove Such is God's great gift, the beauty of love Elizabeth Santos |

Elizabeth, this is both a read and a song, and I know you meant it to be heard that way, or at least, I believe so. That is how it came across... thank you for this... |

Quivering heart beat, purring with pleasure No one can measure the song of a dove Lulling the dark night Into the dawn’s light Ready to take flight The power of love Just as the winds lift wings of a white dove Such is God's great gift, the beauty of love ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes...this is a song, dancing on my heart now. What a beautiful song to wake up to this morning....thank your Elizabeth! ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

  (smiles) Ooohhhhhhh...this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, your gorgeous words always make me smile! (kiss on cheek) Yes, and the dove coos and murmurs deep in our hearts, which beat the echo of love to all! We all love you so much, sweet friend, may you forever spread your wings and share your love like this dove! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Listen the soft song Bathed in a sweet balm Wrapped in the smooth calm Of murmuring coo Elizabeth - This is truly a lovely poem. Very much enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

 This was simply beautiful, it is a WOW poem, and yes, it actually read like a gentle song. I hope that dove can see my house for all the snow  but with my luck it will be a seagull! <font face="monotype corsiva">~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

Elizabeth it was a song, an angelic fluttering write and now the music of your words fill me Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
