I have drunk the wine of autumn Bit by bit in crimson drips Orange hues and auburn shades And brilliant crimson on my lips Heavy eyes are folded over With the color-fest of fall As I slumber into winter Dreaming wonders of it all Bright collages sunken into Snoozing deepness of the night All these sweet mosaic murals To dissolve in fields of white Cold winds claim the brilliant splendors Of each color as it wilts So I sleep on painted hillsides Wrapped in brightly spattered quilts Do not wake a sleeping dreamer Do not open blissful eyes Do not cast the autumn leaves Into the cold November skies Time has left its mark of passing Like a silent mourning dove Let me linger here within the season that I'm dreaming of Elizabeth Santos |

whoa, Liz Santos, this was extremly magnificant writing...and I believe, my most cherished of yours...how do you do it? this.... Bright collages sunken into Snoozing deepness of the night All these sweet mosaic murals To dissolve in fields of white ahhh, can visulize every word so brilliantly placed... and this.... Cold winds claim the brilliant splendors Of each color as it wilts So I sleep on painted hillsides Wrapped in brightly spattered quilts yes, you do, there are so many many quilts you have made warm and they love you dear lady...including me.... the inspiration of this first read of mine this morn, has truly touched my heart... thank you for this marvelous painting....I'm sending this one to Trudy, she will love it. This needs to go back to the top, for everyone to enjoy.... Hugs and love Me |

Do not wake a sleeping dreamer Do not open blissful eyes Do not cast the autumn leaves Into the cold November skies Time has left its mark of passing Like a silent mourning dove Let me linger here within the season that I'm dreaming of Oh, how beautiful is this?!! Library bound straight away! Thankyou Elizabeth. hugs, Chris |
