 In Shangri-La by Linda L. Dowd In Shangri-La the rivers flow, With milk and honey ~ smooth and slow. The skies are clear and sapphire blue, Each flower glows in rainbow hue. Caressing zephyrs softly blow. The stars at night set it aglow. It’s heaven down on Earth below. ~ Where all is young and in renew. ~ In Shangri-La A dreamscape, where I long to go. ~ But where it is, I do not know. It is not legend. It is true, For I have seen it in full view, ~ When I was there so long ago. ~ In Shangri-La. . [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-22-2009 07:34 PM).] |

VERY nice! [certainly wish I was there ... rather than trapped in this 'black hole' of a 'reality' amid the "Runaway American Dream" !] applause for this 'penning' ! |

Dolphina ~ Aw, yes, Margherita, I have dreamt of this place since I was a little 'cherub'. When I find the portal again (mind you there are 3 portals ~ one of which is supposed to be in Siberia!) I will show you the way! We will never grow old and we will be able to laugh and play and have not a care in the world. Tra la la la, Linda Angelo Terrestre |

Yann the Man ~ I like the sonnet poetic form as well. Actually, this poem is a Rondeau. It's a new form for me but I enjoyed wrapping my pen ~ and brain ~ around it! As always, I appreciate your warm response! Have a happy day! Dream sweetly, this night! Linda Linda |

BluesSerenade ~ A dreamy place, indeed. I've dreamt of such a place since I was about 5 years old. ~ One can go there in their dreams and when they meditate. The trick is in getting our bodies there as well! Nice to hear from you, Lovely Lori! Linda |

BC ~ Bill, my dear friend, take my hand this night and I will transport our essences there for a little R & R. ~ A pit-stop, if you will! I can access it's spiritual presence but not its physical one. Once I do, I will share this living Utopia with all who would like to go there! Linda |

2 I believe that you have been there as well as I. We have just lost the spirit map to take us back there. ~ But we'll return, Dear Katriona! Soneday, we will return. Until then, work on finding it's spirit home in your dreams at night. Linda |
