The Meadow I’ve walked this meadow many times Its upward slope I daily climb To savor every passing season Thinking that it should be mine If some day I were to be caught By one who owns this lovely plot And asked with curious eyes the reason For my trek across his lot I would describe the drifting snows The way the windswept glimmer flows And how the little imprintsfreeze As shadowed paws in shimmering glows I’d tell him of my autumn walk Through colored leaves and broken stalk How blue jays on his acres seize and Soothe my soul with fluttering talk The summer greens of wood and hill The April filled with daffodil How balmy air in springtime breezes Beauty of the earth instill If I were to explain to him The power of the earth and wind A treasure he has never siezed He'd surely take a look within I do not hesitate to trod Another’s field in upward plod I think that he would come to reason That his land belongs to God Elizabeth Santos Nov 6, 2002 |

Beautiful, Elizabeth. What form is this? You've done a vivid job, very nice flavor, texture and joy to read. And the bottom line...for sure! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Liz Your verse is always so pure of spirit, almost etherial, and so beautifully written.  |

This is beautiful, to say the least. The bottom line does say ~it all~ about much more than this plot of land. Very much enjoyed every line! (of every poem I've read of yours)  Thanking You for sharing your talent, With Warm Regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Sung on whispers of wind. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
