The Perfect Face He painted strands of golden glow Like Spanish moss it hung down low But spun of silk from nature’s thread That softly lies on feathered bed And lifts when April breezes blow Her eyes were jeweled with stones of blue That lay beneath the wet of dew And filled with drops from life’s own pool Translucent waters crisp and cool The softest tears left unembued Her face was splendor’s secret mold From radiance beneath the gold The crimson red of moistened lips Reflected in the wine she sips Man’s greatest treasure to behold The fairest skin, the perfect face The fragile nature of her grace Was to be tainted in its time A face so tenderly defined As silken thread spun into lace All beauty of intrinsic worth Endowed by painted strokes of mirth In fleeting time, the artist’s brush Adorned the moss with morning thrush His song to be the very first In subtle blues of dawning’s birth He softly said, “Let this be Earth” Elizabeth Santos |

And then he created the heavens too yanno? Do you take requests? How's about giving him his dues for creating the heavens as some of the greatest people I know are up there with him? Oh Elizabeth, you paint a mean poem.  ((hugs)) |
