Eclipse In dark of night she’ll slowly rise And lay her white across my eyes She wraps me in the night’s abyss And sooths me with a moonbeam’s kiss What loveliness the moon bestows In pearly iridescent glows She comforts fears that nightly spawn Into the shadows of the dawn But when a veil of black is placed Across the glow of angel’sface Enveloping the fair and pale With phantom black on orbit’s trail The luminescence of my room Has been transformed to moonless gloom For who am I without her night To touch my skin in with gentle light Behind the veil she watches me And laughs at desperation’s plea To show herself in bare attire In fullness of celestial fire Around her face a halo glows And still her hidden whiteness shows With moonbeam ribbons of delight That capture me with tender light Then slowly she’s again revealed Her lovely secrets now unsealed Her veil of black falls into space And there, the moon’s most perfect face She comes again in rhapsody And lingers here a bit with me At dawn she slowly disappears Into the shadows of my tears Elizabeth Santos June 29, 2002 |

Lady Santos...how well this lilt touches the tongue and sinks into the heart...like cream... Thank you for this beauty... I saw the morning star pinned upon the sky this early day...and then the sun bathed in red whisked her away... and I thought of you. Thanks for writing again...we have missed your daily treats... |

This poem lulled me to a state of inner calm with its lilting cadence. The beauty of your words and images was captivating. Sheer poetry. ~ smiles to you this beautiful fall morning ~ EA |

Liz, there is magic written in these words of yours. How beautifully you have captured my heart into loving Luna even more. '...And sooths me with a moonbeam’s kiss ...' Ahhhh, the glow of moonbeams. Hugs, Marti Every now and then take a good look at something not made |

Elizabeth: By far, one of the most impressive works I have read and certainly most tender of the beautiful moon. ThisDiamond |

You truly are gifted with the "magic" it takes to show her off it such style. Lovely Elizabeth. God Bless |

Makes me want to dust off the telescope and take a peek. This is a "beaming" piece or work Elizabeth! ~Sheri |

Oh, Elizabeth - I come here so rarely - I brought my "Misty's Journey" to share, but did not expect to see one of your jewels! What a treat! This is so exquisite! I wish I had a book of your poetry. You are so gifted - you should be published, you know. Warmly, Rosemary |
