Sail On, White Dove! Oh, hail the dove, her freedom wings That to the skies more beauty brings Her feathers trace transparent trails Of swirling breezes as she sails So silently her wings define The course of winds that flow through time And tap a sweet poetic muse To sketch her face in sunset hues And in the twilight of her eyes Her wing tips brush the starlit skies And write her words with feather pen That we may read her life again Sail on, White Dove, to better skies Behold her phrases as she flies Look upward from this scornful ground For all her words are heaven bound Oh, hail the dove, her freedom wings! And listen to the joy she brings! Elizabeth Santos |

Liz Your poetry is always so very beautiful and filled with the grace that belongs only to you. I know Rebecca would be pleased with this poem in her honor. |

Liz, you caught her spirit well in this poem m'friend. I was at her site today and yesterday and did you know you are on it? I loved seeing two of my favorite people in one place like that. The poem you wrote "Gently As The River Flows" belongs there now. http://www.geocities.com/whtdove377/miscpoetry.html [This message has been edited by Mysteria (02-07-2005 12:00 AM).] |

And in the twilight of her eyes Her wing tips brush the starlit skies And write her words with feather pen That we may read her life again Your words, thoughts, heart and mind are very precious Liz... This was absolute and most elegant... Hugs Lee J. |
