Spirit Wings Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: “Angels of Dawn” by Dik Darnell From the album entitled: In the Presence of Angels  Spirit Wings by Linda L. Dowd I leapt from a mountain and into the air, ~ Flapping my arms on a wing and a prayer. I was lost and lonely and deep in despair, As I plunged toward earth in a living nightmare. In but an instant, I was bathed in God’s Light. I tingled all over at the bedazzling sight ~ Of angels aglow in colors vividly bright, ~ Azure, and amethyst ~ petal pink, and snow white. My spirit rose up to the heavens above. I was wrapped in the warmth of Mother God’s Love. I passed Pearly Gates on angel wings of a dove, And now joyously recall that moment thereof. The air was scented by a fresh, lilac breeze. And songbirds sang merrily from burgeoning trees. Crystal clear waters did calmingly please, As life flowed effortlessly with grace and with ease. When I leapt from that mountain in rudderless twirl, ~ My faith was restored with wings in awhirl. That grand leap of faith caused spirit wings to unfurl, And into the heavens flew this born-again girl. I now soar with the eagles above Mother Earth, ~ Since that moment divine of my spirit's rebirth. I’m brimming with confidence and esteemed self-worth. I am hopeful, and joyful, and flushing with mirth. I had leapt from a mountain and into the air. ~ Flapping my arms on a wing and a prayer. I was lost and lonely and deep in despair. Now I radiate love and have not a care. ~ |

Linda, How I have missed you - and this leap of yours is one of the most beautiful poems that I have read. You light up the blue pages until they radiate with colors like a rainbow. I don't think we breathe as well when you are too long gone. Love, Alison |

Yo Earth Angel, This poem has great end rhymes, and is well presented. However, God is a man, and don't you forget it. Love Bobby |

I was really starting to worry about you my dear Linda Lou. Oh and in case you didn't realize it yes, you have always radiated love, and you always will. Don't leave for such long periods dear one. It is almost more than we can bear. Beautiful poem our spirit angel! Rich  |
