Heavenly Dream
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

I slipped to sleep
in peaceful slumber.
Cast off the chains
of Earth’s encumber.
I rose up past
the moon and stars,
And on beyond
the planet Mars.
No longer was I
flesh and bone,
For I was Light
and heading Home.


“We are borne of star dust,
and to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Dear Donna, that was sweet of you to say!

I awoke this morning with this poem dancing in my head. I lept from my bed and raced to my computer to post it before I forgot it!

Have a glorious day, my friend!

Loves 'n hugs,
Linda

I'm inclined to think that you went "home" in your sleep and came back to tell us all how wonderful it is to head back home.  Enjoyed as usual, Linda of Light!

Hi, Helen! Hmm! That explains it! You may have something there! If I remember the rest of  
the dream, I'll be sure to write a poem about what I saw when I got to Heaven!

Bill, I am pleased that my poem brought some measure of serenity to your soul. God knows that with the recent passing of your brother, you are need of every bit that you can get.
Even with the casting off of our feet of clay, our spirit lives on.

My thoughts are with you.

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

Hi, there my fellow Canadian! Seems you are getting far more of the white stuff out West than we are here in Ontario. Mind you, I LOVE the snow and could use a bit more of what you have! ~ as long as the roads are cleared in a timely fashion! lol

Thanks for dropping by!

Giving you a 'warming' hug,

Particularly relevant at the moment as I have spent all evening putting a life story video presentation together for a close friends father's funeral.

This poetry reminds one of the beauty of death at a time (February) when it seems to be always at 'our' door...

Yes, I too have heard that February ranks #1 on the list of times when people pass over, with November being #2 on the list. They also happen to be the dreariest months of the year.

Your putting together of a life story video presentation for your friends father's funeral, is a wonderful thing for you to do. God bless you all.

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda
