Realms of Light

Perhaps it be perceived that I lack grounding ~  
  floating off into the ethers, into worlds
  that lie beyond Earthly conventions.
For I do not allow mundane reason to vanquish
  the sun from my days nor banish the stars from  
  my nights.  
I fly above the confines of limiting thoughts where
  there be no room for the passions of my soul.


I listen to the voices of the Universe
  with my hearing heart.
I sense the beauty within the stillness
  of my soul.
I see beyond the eyes
  of disbelievers.
I know whereof I speak,
  for I be more than a sentient being,
~ I am of the Light...

EA, you are light and you shine it on all of us here, and that is love.....thank you for all your giving.  (Someday, I'd like to learn how you do all those little graphic things you do that add so much to everyone's days.)  I'm saving this poem to put with your others; my little treasure trove of joy!  kbhbly......lily jo

I knew a lady once like this.  (I wrote a poem about her life trials.)  She smiled and gave honest praise even at all her losses.  (People thought she was a little loose in the head in her eighties, but I thought she was one with the head.  I'll see if I can find it.  Enjoyable lesson.

I truly do value your warm and loving responses to my poetry. It is very gratifying for me to learn that you have a "treasure trove of joy" of my poems.

Thank you for adding to my pleasure of writing poetry, Dear Lily One!

The icons that I use are from Smiley Central.
One day a window popped up on my monitor and I clicked on it and was able to put the button on my tool bar.

Lots of Love & Light,
Linda

I just read your deeply touching poem. She was a remarkable woman, and I too wish that I could have met her. ~ Perhaps, some day, I will ~ on the Other Side of Heaven's Gate!

I appreciate your very thoughtful reply.
Thank you! ~ and have a great day! ~ and a great life!

Love & Eternal Light,
EA

I just looked up a poem that I had written on Alzheimer's Disease that I thought might interest you.

My dear, you are not only of the light, but you are a light to those of us blessed to share the gifts of your heavenly spirit.  You always gift to me a smile and a warm heart, and for this, you are indeed an angel.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Mr. T. ~

At first glance, I thought "right light" was "night light"! ~ and I have not needed one of those for a few years now! Winky 2

Barry, when you say my poem has a "powerful feel" to it, I take notice!

Love & Light,
