I Have Lived A thousand visions flood my eyes Of past and present evening skies As falling sunbeams shed sweet light On day’s last hour and brink of night With every dawn that lights the earth Comes once again the soul’s rebirth Between my edge of the night and day Joy’s gleam of eye is on display With every season comes the change That life and fate both rearrange As blue of sky turns into rain How well I know that bitter pain Both grief and joy a web invites The deepest depth, the highest heights I’ve known the best and worst that comes And both come out in equal sums A hand cupped with desire was such I learned love was the softest touch On lifetime’s lips I’ve tasted of The wine of truth, the sip of love Each moment in a grain of sand Slipped softly through my laden hand So tenderly and finely sieved I know for certain I have lived Elizabeth Santos 11/30/2002 |

...On lifetime’s lips I’ve tasted of The wine of truth, the sip of love... ...So tenderly and finely sieved I know for certain I have lived... Oh yes, yes, and you have written of it so well... as you cast and write again, and keep us in your spell... |

Liz "Both grief and joy a web invites The deepest depth, the highest heights I’ve known the best and worst that comes And both come out in equal sums" Always, it is a pleasure to read your words dear friend. |

See, I was right!  Liz - You're ever able to see things in a light that compliments your wisdom and kindness, your strength and your heart. You've captured that again with the recognition many fail to achieve... yes, you have lived.  |

Liz, how graciously you write these words. There is such humbling when I read each of your poems and get to know you through them. You live with love and dignity and an appreciation of life around you. You are indeed blessed. With admiration, hugs, Marti |
