In His Light
by Linda L. Dowd

I am haunted by the hinterlands,
where once I used to roam.
~ Aimlessly in wander,
with no place to call my home.
The trees were stark and barren,
and flowers never bloomed.
The skies were dark and threatening,
and all my dreams were doomed.

I'd stumble as I made my way,
across the rocky plain.
A warming sun was hidden by,
dark, heavy clouds of rain.
Cold winds blew incessantly,
and chilled me to the core,
“Please help me God, to carry on!”
~Each day I would implore.

When all my strength had ebbed away,
gold rays pierced steel skies.
I beheld a landscape burgeoning,
as joyful tears brimmed seeing eyes.
Trees were lush with foliage,
roses bloomed as I looked on.
I was filled with awe and wonderment,
as I witnessed a new dawn.

I was flooded with emotion,
as I felt the love of God.
He wrapped me in His warm embrace,
as I stood upon His sod.
When I had lost my faith in Him,
I had tumbled into Hell.
~ Now I walk beneath blue skies,
and in His Light, I dwell.

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

Hi Linda,
There is a silver lining in every cloud and there is silver lining in every word you wrote in this poem. Nice graphic design too. Prasad

Linda -   I think I'll stick with your poetry because the Wonder things uplift the superficial but your words uplift the soul!  Thanks for the smile!

Yes, my beautiful bringer of light Linda Angelo Terrestre, this kind of emotion is quite unique, I know nothing more overwhelming.

As we all sometimes forget that we are loved, I think many can relate to your words and find your intense verses deeply comforting and uplifting.

Thank you, also for your sweet velvety voice and the lovely music, which add to the overall effect of this highly spiritual creation.

Loving you,
Margherita
