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.

Dear Linda, I can't hear your voice, but I do hear the Angels speak through you so very beautifully.
Thank you for sharing your intense awareness of their constant presence. I know you speak the truth.

Brava!
Ciao Angelo Terrestre.
Hugs.

MT ~

Good evening, Marge! It appears that some readers can only do that ~ READ the poem! lol

I enjoyed putting this all together. A couple of years ago ~ or so, (I have no concept of time! ) I had posted my voice recording with a few of my poems and felt the urge to do so again after reading the lovely post (My Aching Love) by ARH (A Romantic Heart). Hers is wonderful!

Love to you!
Earthy One

JL ~

Each month, I recite my poetry at a large gathering of local poets ~ as well as those who may not write themselves, but who are avid fans of this form of creative expression. I get goosebumples when I hear some of the poets read their own words! It heightens my appreciation of their work.

I am so pleased that you enjoyed hearing me recite this poem!

May angels always be around you!

It was after listening to your voice reciting your poem "My Aching Love", that I was moved to  post a recording of my voice at this time. I have done so in the past, however, I had never included music as well. Thanks for the inspiration in that department!

A wonderful recite...   loved it.
I tried this for a few poems way back and was hoping to see alot more because it's so interesting to hear the poets voice.

Thank you. I love to recite my poetry and have the immediate responses from the audience! It's very gratifying. I perform at several types of venues, besides with our local poetry group.

The most enjoyable reads for me are in parks for special town gatherings. They're magical!

This is lovely, lovely Linda. Listening as well as reading does heighten the senses - thank you.  I just wish the angels could over ride free will but sadly they can't.  Guess we just need to become "angels" ourselves.

I wish I was at that level of insight. In time I know.  I'm sitting around trying to fall asleep and I find this poem.  I'm trying to ease my anxious heart.  I've got goosebumps.  Shame on me for feeling alone when I'm not for Angels are all around us

Love,
