I Stand in Wonder
by Linda L. Dowd

In these waning days of summertide,
~ as sun descends through humid haze,
I breathe the splendour of prismatic colours
into the very core of my being.
At the edge of the world, I stand in wonder
with out-stretched arms reaching into sorbet skies.
There is no beginning, nor is there an end
to all that surrounds me.
~ For I am a vibrant particle of the All.

The first or the last days
such beauty to behold when
our eyes can see your visions

You make me stand in wonder too, listening to your tune of sacredness and beauty.

Awesome, dear Linda Angelo Terrestre, and the picture is pure incantation.

Love and hugs.

Many times I stand and wonder about the world's beauty - but never before I ever stop to think of myself as a particle of it all. Thanks, Earth Angel. You've opened my eyes to some insights here.   Booky1940.

This is a beautiful poem, Linda.

I think I might be more of a free radical than a vibrant particle though. :p

And all the roads that I've been strolling down... now I've found they all seem to be marooned. So profoundly doomed.

Margherita, my dear Dolphina ~

Yes, Nature is spectacular! I too, am awed by its beauty and grandeur! To witness it, is to make one feel so small ~ but each of us is an integral part of the All.

Love you, girlfriend!

Hello, my fellow Canadian! We certainly do have our fair share of Nature's splendour here in our great land!

Yes, I truly believe that we are all a part of the All!

Enjoyed your comment!

I believe that even a "free radical" is a particle of the All!

Besides, you are so full of God-given talents, you must be a part of the All!

Love 'n a big hug,

Linda
