Angels Are All Around Us
Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording.
Music: Fantasy by Bruce deBoer



Angels Are All Around Us
copyright Linda L. Dowd

Angels come to us in dreams,
in colours vivid and moods serene.
They may appear as a flash of light,
or sparkles dancing ~ be it day or night.
Coloured mists fall from Above,
as angels wrap us in their love.
They may appear as orbs of light,
glowing in your photos bright,
And often when we gaze at sky,
an angel cloud goes flying by.
Lights that flicker, clocks that stop,
objects moving, sounds that pop,
Feathers falling, lost things appear,
are ways the Angels say they're here.
Open up your eyes and see,
all God's angels that there be.
Gossamer wings and halos glowing,
appear to those who have the knowing.
Angelic Beings in grand profusion,
surround us all ~ 'Tis no illusion.

Yo Linda,

This is very nice.  I heard the recording this time.  You have a nice voice.

Of course we have loads of angels in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia.  They feel at home here.

Love Bobby

Yes they are indeed all around.
Thankfully we can see them when we believe

Dearest Linda, this is such a tender invitation to open our eyes to the Angels who surround us. And you are among the "knowing", that's why you are the messenger to spread the good news.

I love this beautiful reminder very much. And you read it with such empathy, it is a joy to listen.
Love and hugs.

Linda,

I love this poem for many reasons - hearing you read your poetry always makes it more special to me.  Plus, your meter is perfection always.  But, in this one, I love how you explain the ways that angels might appear in our lives.  You take the practical and give us divine magic.

That is one thing that I love about you.

Alison

This is absolutely beautiful, as always. I have always believed in angels. And, I do believe they are all around us.

so true, you should read the poem I just posted, Signs
you would think I wrote it after reading this, but we must have similar Angels

Linda, your poem is as beautiful as the music which is as beautiful as your voice which is as beautiful as you are, inside and out.  You are one of the most gracious angels I have ever known.  

The recording is soooooo professional (but simultaneously so warm and human) with the music just the right volume to enhance your voice, but not overpower it.  The caressing tone of your voice could rock babies (and people of all ages) to sleep, so harmonious it is, even if they didn't understand a word of English.  I am so glad that you combine your artisitic talents into a glorious entity so often (and that includes your paintings).  You are truly a most gifted person, and we are so lucky that you share your gifts with us.

Oh, and I forgot to say that, like Alison, my favourite part is how the angels let us know they are there.  You left out that one of them lets us know she is there by writing poetry and putting her voice recording to music and posting it in Pip!  Smiles.

Some see them ~ and then they believe in them.

Suthern One ~

I know exactly what you mean! Angels are all around us just waiting for us to ask for help and guidance. They play a major role in my life and of those of my children. Whenever we invoke our angels ~ They are there at the ready and jump into action. Time and time again! I truly should write another book with that as the subject. Actually, I could write several more! The more I ask of them and thank with a heart filled with gratitude, the more eager they are to help!

    

~ May God's angels wrap you in their love & Light,

I am so moved by your glowing comments, that I am finding it difficult to key an appropritate reply. Please know this, that your generosity of spirit is appreciated beyond measure and has added more needed Light to my days at this very trying time. Thank you, Venerable Wise One.

Venerable One ~

It truly is amazing all the ways that the angels try to communicate with us. Some are downright comical! A few years ago, I had visited a town that was known to have a wonderful Angel Store. While walking down the Main Street looking for the shop, a white feather fell from the sky, brushed my nose, and then landed at my feet.  I stopped, picked it up, and voila! ~ There was the angel store right next to me!

It was the same Angel store where, last year, I purchased that angel that is in my pip photo!

    

Love and Angel Light,

Linda

Liiiiiiiiinda Angelo you are back! I knew it would be a treat to read also your replies and of course your poem needs to make another leap on top, so that more poet friends can enjoy its wonderful message and YOU!

Billie ~

Good morning! As they say, "Like minds think alike!" I enjoy your poetry as well as your thoughts behind it. In this Age of Enlightenment, people are more open to the angels around them. Sometimes it's pretty hard not to be aware of them! They certainly know how to grab one's attention! lol

~ May angels forever watch over you and your loved ones!

    

Love and Angel blessings,

Linda
