A Dove-ly Spring Day
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

I awoke to the cooing of a dove on the sill,
Then opened my eyes to its look, quizzical.
It appeared as surprised as I was this morn,
To be sitting on ledge inside casement dorm.

I thanked the avian for its spring morning song,
Its eyes seemed to smile as I joined along.
I was touched by the spirit of this cooing song bird,
For its voice was the sweetest that I’d ever heard.

I arose from my bed and my wee friend flew away,
What a lovely start to a dove-ly spring day!

Mr. T. ~

It truly was a dove-ly way to start my spring day! It was a portent of the wonderful things that lay in store for me! I wish I could capture it from beginning to end. It was an in-th-zone kinda day where everything was perfect and filled with glorious surprises.

May all you days be as dove-ly!

(does happy dovetail dance) Yay! They say the dove is linked to my sun sign of Scorpio, where Scorpios who are not self-actualized are often in the scorpion or golden eagle form, or oscillate between them, whereas self-actualized Scorpios are doves, so it's quite possible it was actually me coming to visit my dearest angel friend, yay! (unless you see me as more of a golden eagle or phoenix, LOL!) This is a most joyous poem that would make anyone's morning reading it, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Lee ~

I feel that way as well. In my own life, doves have always appeared to bring messenges from Spirit.

I have been eating my lunch outside on my deck everyday ~ regardless of whether the sun is out or not. I know its still shining behind those gray skies even when I can't see it!

Big hug,
Linda

You are a spirit dove of the purist white Light and I would be delight to dance the "dovetail" dance with you, my Scorpio Angel friend!

May you have a dove-ly spring!
