The Edge of Time
Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording.

Music: Angel Symphony of Love and Light by Andreas Mock



The Edge of Time
by Linda L. Dowd

Through swirling night skies of indigo blue,
bright beams of moonlight were streaming thru’.
Diamond-white rays limbed a distant shore,
as I gazed across seas into Evermore.

Flashing auroras lit up neon night,
as I peered in awe at the glorious sight.
For there before me, lie mystical lands
with tropical trees and white, sifting sands.

Gardens with flowers of every hue,
and unicorns romping, came into view.
All was innocent and simply sublime,
in a land existing at the edge of time.

Towers of ivory touched sorbet skies,
where dwelled fairy prince who ruled paradise.
This mystical world appeared once a year,
when Duanan the Druid would reappear.

The wee Celtic folk danced in gay merriment,
in high celebrations of this happy event.
With ringing resounding from blue floral bells,
they whirled in circles around fairy wells.

I stood there in silence in a state of awe,
at the beauty and gaiety I joyously saw.
But then in an instant, all blurred in the midst
of a dense rolling fog of heavy dew mist.

What was it I saw? ~ And dare I believe?
as I gazed across seas on a midsummer’s eve.
Perhaps I was beckoned to this land sublime,
to remind me of home at the far edge of time.

Through swirling night skies of indigo blue,
bright beams of moonlight came streaming thru’.
Diamond-white rays limbed a distant shore,
as I gazed across seas into Evermore.


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

Wow, dearest Linda Angelo Terrestre, listening to your voice and the music and reading along was quite the mystical experience!
Wonderful visions of Evermore as it surely is, how could it be any different, when you have created it in such bright colors. I do believe you!

Wonderful and wonderfully soothing.

Love and hugs.

To paraphrase Hamelet's quote to Horatio, "There is more to Heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in one's philosophy."

I believe that your own philosophy, is very expansive, indeed!

You are most welcome to join me there anytime you would like! Mind you, you could also travel there solo ~ or perhaps with someone special! You are only limited by your imagination (or the lack thereof ` which would definitely not apply to you!!! lol)

To read one of your poems to you, would be an "enchanting" experience. However, to hear you recite your own poems to me would be even more enchanting!
