Eden ~ Lost and Found

~Linda L. Dowd ~

As spiraling leaf in wingless flight,
thy soul slipped in rudderless descent
and into dimensions of chaos and confusion.
In mindless wander, thou hast circled many
a lightless moon with no respite
from Dante’s scorching sands.
Thy tormented screams hath pierced mine heart
with the precision of Grim Reaper’s scythe,
~ echoing far into the furthest reaches of time.

I beseech thee, drink not the blood of Satan
from unholy grail,
but raise to thy lips, the gold chalice
of the Mightiest Olympian,
and sip the sweetest of all god nectars.

I call upon the powers of All That Is Holy,
to lift thy desolate spirit high
into the ethers of His illumination,
casting yowling demons of darkness
into the endless, hadean night.
With the gathering of angel wings,
may you be swept above the hell fires of Eden Lost
and into the Light ~ of Eden Found.

Hi, froggy!

I suppose you could say that I am getting into the 'spirit' of Halloween! Skeleton

Lovin' hugs,
Linda

Linda....

this is standing outside
much of your "usual" pennings...

and I would venture to guess
that you were visited
with a thought, emotion, feeling...

and you left for us
the tracks of the trail...

that we might find our way.

Somehow, it seems only an
Earth Angel
could do this for everyone else.

Thank you.

I appreciate your thought-FULL response to my poem ~ and your kind words.

No matter how far one falls from the Lighted Path, there is always a way back Home.
