Land of Love and Light
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
Silvery beams of moonlight,
Slid down from starry skies.
They slipped between the shutters,
And kissed my sleeping eyes.

As I lie still in silence,
I dreamed of faery realms.
Tiny folk trilled merry songs,
And danced ‘round ancient elms.

Unicorns were fleet of foot,
Rose garlands hung from manes.
Clouds were cotton candy,
And gumdrops lined the lanes.

Houses made of gingerbread,
Were lit by fire flies.
Lakes were green, and grass was blue,
White dragons streaked pink skies.

Castles glowed with crystal light,
Flowers bloomed forever.
Colors never seen before,
In land of balmy weather.

Zephyr winds blew soft and warm,
The stars shone every night.
Lilacs wafted in the air,
In land of love and light.

Birds were happy all the time,
They chirped and sang all day.
Life was nice and easy,
And all would sing and play.

Silvery beams of moonlight,
Slid down from starry skies.
They slipped between the shutters,
And kissed my sleeping eyes.
+*+*+*+*+*+

hmmmm ... the scent of my favorite flower permeates this wonderful performance of yours, dear Linda!

Tell us when the book for children will be published! Grown ups and little ones will enjoy so greatly your gift!

Love and hugs.

Ah, a wonderful land reached only by sliding down moonbeams. I will meet you there and we'll have tea!

Lilacs never smelled so sweet as when they come from your imagination and pen.

hugs, Marti

But of course there are Harleys in the Land of Love & Light! Mind you, they are solar powered so as not to pollute the lilac laden zephyrs!

Margherita ~

I suppose I really should be doing something with all the writing I have done for children! I have amassed a rather substantial amount of material! ~ books, songs, stories, poetry, a play...

Thank you for your suggestion! Every bit of encouragement adds fuel to the fire!

Sending you a big hug and lots of lilacs!
