Unworthy The world has spun around again And here, the scribble of a pen How insignificant the worth Of simple words unto the earth I’m in the presence of myself And only I can know the wealth Of early chirps on limb of pine In no one else’s ear but mine All eyes are absent to the ways The woodland opens up to days All petals rise to meet the sun As witness, I, the only one The dawning earth holds great esteem To which my eyes and spirit deem More justified than words I glaze In wet of ink’s unworthy phrase More noble to endow its worth A tear of joy soaked into earth Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (07-26-2002 09:19 AM).] |

The value we each hold to the many blessings of this earth are all different, but it has always been evident to me that you hold a special bond between nature and yourself and you share it beautifully. I take this one to be a realization that we as mankind are no more special than the tress around us, the soil beneath our feet and the sky above us ... we are simply a small part of what makes it all a "world". You penned another great one here and gave us that special touch of poetry personified in perfection that makes reading your works a treat always and I suddenly realize why your poetry always has such great cadence to it ... do a count in EVERY line and you will see what I mean. Of course you probably already know this.....I am just learning the why and hows. All in all........I loved it. Sorry for the ramble. |

Well this was certainly a heartfelt brain exercise, and of course it is "perfect" but how is the writer doing? Wonderfully done, and phoning you tomorrow night be ready!  Nothing means more to me than faith, |
