DENISE She stands in shadows of herself Behind a veil of stained glass hues And waits the birth of inner self Into the essence of her muse But void of words is not her soul Nor empty is her dire pursuit And purposeful the living goal Of nourishing the honored root For faith resides beneath the dome That shelters life’s mysterious plea And roots are those that can atone The womb that wrought a family And blessed are those within her heart Who draw their strength from her accord And fortunate the friends whose part Has been to reap her heart’s award No brighter flower, no richer scent No sweeter balm does spring release No beauty bids the soul’s consent Than words that could define Denise But these few phrases cannot trace A silhouette that well portrays The comfort brought by her embrace The silent love that she conveys Thank you Denise for who you are Liz |

But these few phrases cannot trace A silhouette that well portrays The comfort brought by her embrace The silent love that she conveys ~*~ You are penning :keepers: of those we treasure. Thank you, Lady Santos! |

Awww, what a wonderful tribute for our sweet Denise. Even though she's quiet, she's always there. Thanks to you and to her for being who she is.  Hugs to you both, Ethel |

For faith resides beneath the dome That shelters life’s mysterious plea And roots are those that can atone The womb that wrought a family I am so sorry that I was not able to join you all on Sat. You all sound like such inspiring ladies...beautiful! |

Elizabeth, this is a wonderful tribute. If I would be asked for just one word to sum it up I might choose, excellence. Tony :-) |

Silent? You should have been with me on I-95 this morning.  One of those mornings...and the rest of the day followed suit. Ah well, all's well that ends well...I wrote a poem for your Frost assignment. Yes, I did, I actually wrote something! Thank you for this lovely poem and for being a such gracious host. It's always a pleasure to hang out with you and my other poet friends! And thanks for your kind words too, everyone! |
