In Shadows of Dawn In shadows of dawn when the world slumbers still The fresh scents of morning invitingly fill The space where my dreams of the night disappeared The mind not yet wakened to notions endeared From damp of the dawning, my wrap cannot shield The wet of the earth and the dew of the field Aroma of wildflower's scent of delight Awaiting the warming of sun’s dawning light This is the hour of orchestra’s tune This is the time of a lullaby moon To slip away gently as purple adorns Horizon's soft edges so silently born This is the moment for spirits to bathe In absence of life’s pending footprints to pave Doused in the mist and the fragrance of earth Wakening mind to life’s presence and worth Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (07-09-2002 08:37 AM).] |

The times of transition between light and dark, Or Dark and light, Has always drawn me in to watching, To waiting, for feeling the changes. Enjoyed your expression of it here. Gloom |

Your poetry, Lady Santos, should never, ever sit in shadows, but enjoy the light... |

"This is the hour of orchestra’s tune This is the time of a lullaby moon To slip away gently as purple adorns Horizon's soft edges so silently born"  (smiles) Awwwwww, I just love how you portray the true beauties and resources available in all of life, sweet friend, this is heavenly, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

it is a transparent mauve veil weightier than it has a right to be when dawn comes with dusty eyes and a man must stop to witness the daily miracle Enjoyed so much a poem that induces a feeling of experience and not of remembrance jeff |

Really nice. Each sunrise or sunset is so special to all of us that are wise enough to enjoy them. Each one a perfect moment in time never to be duplicated just like your poem. |

Liz born and raised and aint never leaving PA probably. Love it here, love the mountains, the country side.... the beauty. Yes, I know what you speak of if not the same mountain I see every morning when I arise....I am sure just as beautiful. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |
