Relinquishing the Night The gentle glow of dawn leans into the early hour, pushing against the horizon luring me to its blush of rose that blooms slowly above the crest of the hill. just as a fragile flower slowly turns its petals, revealing the unique design of its delicate slihouette, enticing me to gaze deeply into the sensual eye of an orchid. I am surrounded by the softness of the moment, the power of nature ever moving toward newness, that enfolds me in the pastel pleasures of dawn. And I am no longer hesitant to relinquish the night as its starry bliss disappears into a purple veil of peace Elizabeth Santos 4/1/02 |

"And I am no longer hesitant to relinquish the night as its starry bliss disappears into a purple veil of peace" (smiles) Awwwwwwww, flowers and stars fill your gorgeous visions always, sweet friend, may your garden of your heart bloom with rosea and may the night feather them with the enchantment of moonlit dreams bound to last forever! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Oh my .... Liz, this is stunning. It's not only the imagery brought forth in your words, but the emotions this conjurs within the mind. Simply beautiful, my friend. Best wishes, /Kit |
