Whisperings
by Linda L. Dowd

Listen to soft whisperings
as snowflakes fall from opal sky.
~ Gently, and in slow descent,
to where they come to lie.    

Go within and listen
to whispers carried on a breeze.
~ Spirits warmly reaching out
in mid of winter freeze.

Hush, be still, and listen.
~ Let the silence speak to soul.
Our ears need never hear a word,
for whisperings to make us whole.

~

Linda,

And if one listens carefully to the whispers of the snow, they can hear the most delightful stories.  

Love,

Yo dear Linda,

I hear the snow whispering.  I have very cold and sharp ears.  The snow is plotting against me.  It does it every winter.

Love Bobby

I need to have this made into a sign and put over my office door. Excellent! -

You have surely captured the mood of peaceful silence and self reflection in this piece.

Love this ending!

I've been missing your sweet presence and poetic presents!

I knew this poem would speak to you if you happened upon it. We are attuned to each other's spirit heart.

Dear Linda. It's 43 degrees outside which I

think is about 110 degrees farenheit. Not fit for man or beast. Please send some of

that weather over here, but don't be too long. As usual loved your poem.  love

Lovely words from lovely Linda!

"Spirits warmly reaching out
in mid of winter freeze."

I think they're reaching out too warmly in my part of the world because they don't know that it's summer here.  I could do with a cold reach out every second day perhaps but, no, it's a warm reach out always.  

Hugs
