To Be with You Can this be right, that I am Cradled in the shadow of your mind? Already I had bid farewell And of the tenderest kind And now seek to fill distances With hunger of my eyes Here within your shadow Ever present by your side I say that all is right with God If clinging as a child In total innocence of thought, Though thoughts run wild. For only in a shadow’s corner, Meekly coiled, dwells the soul And leaves the heart so distant From the uncompleted whole I pray that you regard this whim, This uninvited presence, Not as a petalled bloom But only as its essence And may you in the dawning hour Within a shadow’s steep Inhale its pale perfume as you Quietly awake from sleep What harm can come from this? A shadow softly pressed, (Not even a petal gently laid), Across the smoothness of your chest Not even a sound to stir the peace of your repose But in the white of linen folds The fragrance of a rose Elizabeth Santos |

For only in a shadow’s corner, Meekly coiled, dwells the soul And leaves the heart so distant From the uncompleted whole this was exactly as it is...and you have touched my heart almost to tears....hugs dear sweet lady, and as always, thank you so much for writing and sharing... Miss you...but I feel all is well in your world..  Love Lee J. |
