Paradise Found Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: Braveheart Soundtrack  Artist:Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale Paradise Found ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ In misty gloaming of bonnie brae, A lad with a fife and a drum, Hailed his love for a lovely lass, Of them all, she was the plum. O’er hill and dale he searched for her, This maiden beyond compare. She stirred his blood like no other had, Of them all, she was most fair. One glorious morn at the break of day, He found her by shore of the loch, Singing so sadly of love she had lost, As tears soaked her emerald frock. Gold rays of sun lit up her form, Dresden skin was as fair as milk. Eyes reflected the blue of the skies, And her hair was of auburn silk. She heard the sound of the beating drum, Followed by the trill of the fife. Her sadness left with the sight of the lad, For she knew he’d be part of her life. He knelt and spoke before maiden fair, Recounting each search at cock's crow. How he’d spied her once on the bonnie brae, And had searched since that mome of ago. Her cheeks flushed the rosiest pink, The sparkle returned to her eyes. He swept her up and twirled her about, For in her he had found paradise. In misty gloaming of bonnie brae, A lad with a fife and a drum, Hailed his love for a lovely lass, Of them all, she was the plum. . Love is the unifying force which integrates one’s soul with that of another. ~ Linda L. Dowd |

OMG...as if the poem itself weren't spectatular enough combined with the lovely lilt of your voice when reading it I truly had thought I'd found paradise if only for a few moments. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...what a beautiful reading voice you have and what a majestic poem you've written here. What a wonderful option you've given your readers with the voice recording. I read along with you as you read and it really brought your words home. ((((APPLAUSE)))) Ruth I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |

EA. So we can actually hear you? I unplugged the speaker to see if it was vibrating, as I can't hear for the moment. But ... ... manyana manyana. How do you put audio into a message? Jaime |

Margherita ~ As you and I are kindred spirits, I, too, am disappointed that you are unable to receive the audio ~ especially for my angel poem. I know that that would be one that would really 'speak' to your heart. Love to you, my sweet friend, Linda Angelo Terrestre |

Jaime ~ Hi there! It was so nice to hear from you! As for posting the audio, you would have to upload a sound file from your computer to the net ~ a hosting site. I see that some poets have done it through thestartlitecafe.com. That probably would be the easiest root to take. Hugs to you, EA |

aziza ~ Hi, Alison! I think I was in "another land in another time" while I was writing it! Truly! It's difficult to explain, but this poem practically wrote itself ~ and I'm the one that is getting the accolades! lol Often that is the case when I write these type of poems. Must be a past life thing! Love to you! Linda |

Paradise Islands ~ Well, PI, YOU just "blew me out of the water" with your enthusiastic and highly complimentary comments. I understand that you used to belong to pip in the past and had the user name "sweat heart". I would like to welcome you back into the family fold! Thank you for your kind words and for reading and replying to my poem! I suppose the title "Paradise Found" would intrigue a poet with the name "Paradise Islands"! lol Giving you a warm, welcoming back hug, Earth Angel |

Was it before my joining in August of 2002? Well, after your wonderful replies ~ I'm especially glad that you are back! I'll be looking out for a poem by you! Love & Light, EA |
