Messengers From Beneath the Sea
~ Linda L. Dowd ~


In my nightly travels, I swim with dolphins
in a great cosmic sea. I joyfully join their
graceful, synchronized movements and travel
to realms beyond Earthly realities.

My energetic bodies expand with their
harmonic frequencies and I begin to flow
with the natural cycles and rhythms
of the Universe. The possibilities
are endless as I enter oceanic portals
into multiple dimensions.
In a spirit of cooperation and
community, we explore, unencumbered,
the furthest reaches of our
expanded consciousness.

The wisdom of the ancients is readily
made available to us as we open our minds
to the Infinite. Answers to time-honored
questions as to the beginnings of
the cosmos and mankind,
flood my inquiring mind.

My spirit breaks into the songs of
the sea as I am reminded of my reason
for being. Each soul that is born into
this world has a unique and integral
role to play in the Universal circle
of life. We are born of star dust
~ and to the stars we shall one day return.

I awake each morning energized and
ready to embrace and live, each day
to its fullest. My nightly travels with
these spiritual messengers from beneath
the sea, have been soul-stirring
journeys back home.

They are gentle reminders of
where I came from,
who I truly am,
and why I am here.

Oh yes, dear Linda, this is the sign that your soul has travelled indeed in ethereal realms.

So beautiful!

omg Linda,  a friend of mine went down to the Caymen Islands on a cruise and they went swimming with dolphins and had pics taken.  She said they are such gentle creatures.
Loved this.

Linda, this is magnificent. Swimming with the dolphins seems to be both entertaining and enlightening for you. You certainly are in touch with ALL aspects of nature and the world around you.

I just love these words:

Each soul that is born into
this world has a unique and integral
role to play in the Universal circle
of life. We are born of star dust
~ and to the stars we shall one day return.


Star dust, now there's something to think about. What a lovely thought.

In my humble opinion, one of your very best.

I liked this one a lot, Linda, for it struck a different chord in my heart; things I normally don't write about, or talk about, but which are nonetheless an integral part of my being.

Thank you.

Amazing.  Perhaps this is why I am so obsessed with "water"!  It is almost a craving, a passion to be within its fall.  Your mind intrigues me, Linda.  I feel so fortunate to be able to learn from you and the other wonderful poets here.  Thank you for all that you contribute.

Margherita, my dear fellow dolphin lover and kindred spirit,

I am totally blown away by the fact that you posted your reply as I was thinking about you! ~ Seriously!!!! I thought that this poem would be one that you would understand and appreciate. ~ and voila, there you reappeared from a far too long absence, found my poem and brought it back up into the light of day ~ and you did appreciate and understand what I wrote!    Dolphin

It was good to hear from you and it pleases me greatly that I could share a part of my dream world with you!

Thank you so much! I would love to see you write about that aspect of you! I truly would! When I first started posting, I shied away from writing about my more ethereal self, shall we say! lol

Good morning, lily jo! It's good to hear from you! You are another one that I was hoping would enjoy reading about my dream life!

After I wrote this poem I searched the Net for the perfect graphic to accompany it ~ and I hit the jackpot with this one! She's even facing the same way as I am in my photo ~ and the dolphins are leaping the same way as my dolphin icon! 'Tis amazing, is it not?!?

Linda...Enjoyed taking a look into your other world. This reminds me of one you wrote about a year or so ago. " The Suns Are Now Rising Pleiades and Atlantis which is still one of my all time favorites.
My two granddaughters have swam with the Dolphins and they both loved it.
Thanks for sharing with us...Paul

Hi, Paul! I cannot tell you how much it pleases me that you thought so highly of "The Suns Are Now Rising". That is one of the poems that I have written that is closest to my heart ~ and soul.

I think it is wonderful that your grandaughters were privileged to swim with our spiritual friends! What a memorable experience that must have been for them!

I am sending a dolphin to you and to each of them!
