Waiting for Time Awaited moments ride the hush Of whispered visions in a rush And fill the mind with bouncing springs Upon life's stationary wings The time will come on tiptoe shoe And peek from out a shadow’s view To tap you on your shoulder cuff As though a word were not enough Then startled eyes quite unaware There were no moments left to spare Seem unprepared to pull ashore The vessel they’d been waiting for And all the time they stood alone To pace vibrations of a groan So concentrated and remote They missed life’s most enchanting boat Elizabeth Santos |

(smiles) Oh Elizabeth, this is so very true, sweet friend, it is so very sad when we yearn for something so much and get absorbed in it, and then we realize how the true essence we weren't desiring is what we lost when we waste so much time in the end! (big hugggsssssss) May we always embrace every moment with hope and joy, sweet friend, CARPE DIEM!!! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

You mean..you did not write this for Mysteria to quietly tell her that all the hand clapping and foot stomping is for naught if you have missed the boat anyway? ... I was told by a maestro of words to forget the rhyming, and to go with my strong points... and so I am! I hereby leave the rhyming to the masters and mistresses of Passions, with great thanks, for showing us how to do it write...er, right! |

Sunshine LOL, Mysteria doesn't need to clap or stomp. Her thoughts flow so beautifully from within. As for me, I was born with meter and had to dredge the rest out of life. Now it's simple. Thanks, oh poetess of great diversity Liz |

Liz, I wish that I was born with just a quarter of the meter that you have. . . wonderful. . . ------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
