What's in a word? "Beautiful" is the lily of the field The apple tree in spring Limbs bowed with blossoms The shimmering of the sun Across the Caribbean blue sea "Lovely" is the feel of satin beneath the fingers The tender touch of color On a woman’s blushing face The petal of a dew kissed rose Opened wide to embrace the day "Magical" is the reaching of the hand to touch the moon The shower of light from dancing stars That rains down upon the imagination Catching a sunbeam just so That its rays brighten you entire being "Interesting" is thought provoking An exploration into meaning And the impact its influence has A soul searching inquisition That challenges presumed suppositions "Exquisite" is the gentle brush of a breeze upon your face The caress of a lovers touch As his fingers linger upon your skin The fine lines of fluidity In the beauty of your form What’s in a word? Everything and Nothing. Enough and not enough. It’s meaning more than written Its influence more than said S.A.T. |

Wow, dear Susan, this is LOVELY, INTERESTING, BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL, EXQUISITE ... it could serve as a reference, when we don't have the time to comment more exhaustively, when we leave one word of appreciation ... and your poem shows how much can be contained in one word. Great. Love, Margherita  |

"Magical" is the reaching of the hand to touch the moon The shower of light from dancing stars That rains down upon the imagination Catching a sunbeam just so That its rays brighten you entire being ~ This passage touched my very soul, Dear Sweet Susan. Your own write was in itself "Beautiful, Lovely, Magical, Interesting" and ultimately "Exquisite". I thoroughly enjoyed reading your words ~ and the meanings you gave to them! lol  Love & Light & Language, Linda |

Ah, you all understood. When I read such wonderful work, sometimes words seem inadequate to express how they make me feel, and yet, in one word such depth may lie. Thank you all for your kind words. Love -- Susan |

Susan Words are just what you say.... more and less of what can be expressed. Really enjoyed! |
