Psychic residue
Permeates the surroundings,
Impregnating all.

Vitality seeps
From the lingering spirits,
Into the damp walls.

Personalities
Remained lost and locked inside
The country cottage.

In the darkest hours,
Faint cries from the departed
Echo through the night.

I reach out to them
And send them towards the Light
To find their way home.

Linda, would love to see a part two to this one.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Noah, thank you for reading and replying. I think you may have misinterpreted this, but then how could that not occur once in a while considering the thousands of poems that you read and reply to!  I cannot tell you how many times I have misinterpreted the meanings of many of the poems that I have read! Some poets have even gotten upset with me! Any way, my feeling is that the writer does not own how people interpret their words. I think it is the reader's perogative to interpret it as they may based on their own perspectives and experiences.

~ Warm hugs and a big smile

Linda

Wonderfully written, won't lay my interpretation here but I do agree that while the poets write their poems for themselves the words take on a life of there own for others.

Linda, You are absolutely right.
Send them on their way, "Go rest now" is what I tell them.


additionally.....the entire poem is well balanced, and reads smoothly.

Enjoyed, Pat

Unfortunately, for some spirits, much more is needed than that to send them on their way---and if they are malevolent...well, that's a whole other ball game!

Oh, golly gee! I'm afraid you're right! Sometimes they just don't get the message the first time around! tehe

Linda,

My home and heart and mind are protected with the power of Christ.
What evil, lost, confused, spirit do you know of, that can tackle that force.

             ~NONE!~

We do have His power, and when used is a mighty force.

And this is the way my life works. I do not presume to know how it works for others. That you have powers and chose to work with these spirits, is touching, to say the least. Not all are healers of that nature.

But, for ~me~  My guide-source is the bible, to which I try to remain true, a feat not always easy to do.

You are a wonderful, spiritual, healing lady, a gift to many. May God bless you richly for your kindness and understanding of others, and healing powers. You've been, and continue to be a delight to me, in many ways.  

Hugs, Pat

Pat ~

What a lovely letter! I'm with you! I always use protection! (Forgive me, I couldn't help myself! tehe) Seriously speaking, I am surrounded by God's protective White Light and a host of angelic beings. I am well-protected indeed!

Your kind words touched me deeply, and they were all the more moving because I feel the same way about you, dear kind and sagacious one!

Thank you, Pat!

hugs to you as well!
Linda

Lyra, well bless your sweet britches! I am honored to have you grace my poem with a reply when you are feeling so under the weather!

You are so doggone special! You are held in such high regard, and loved, by so many! That speaks volumes about your character---both of them!--human as well as rodent! tehe

My dear friend, you would be most welcome to join me in the cottage---we would be quite alone now! We could sip hot-mulled cider by the fireplace and talk to the early morning hours.

~ Sending you enough White Light to put an Arctic morning to shame!

Good morning to you! Your "I believe" is so comforting to me. I write of things that raise many eyebrows and I'm sure that there are those who read my poetry and think I may be a bit of a kook!---and they would be right! tehe ---but I can assure them all that I am quite sane--and I have an extremely interesting, and never boring life! How could I be?--I live in two worlds! lol

~ Sending you lots of love and light---all the colors of a rainbow!

Linda
