Love & Light

~ Linda L. Dowd ~

StarsStars
Mother Moon, illumed my room,
with her rays of light.
~Bathing me in serenity,
throughout the springtime night.

The ebon sky, with stars on high,
rained blessings down on me.
Kisses fell, from heaven's dell,
to set my spirit free.

I felt deep peace, and sweet release,
from all my pains and sorrow.
I slipped away, 'til light of day,
and woke to sun next morrow.

There is much love, in light above,
from moon and stars and sun.
I have no fear, for God is here,
and my healing has begun.




“We are borne of star dust,
and to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Earth Angel, you are such an inspiration to me. I have your "Little Boy Lost" on my desktop and listen to it sometimes just to hear your gentle voice. You are a person who truly believes in the power of love and light. You make it much easier for those who know you to believe also. May God grant you the desires of your heart. :-)

Even on the road of Light, there are shadowed areas that we come upon. Some can be downright scary! However, by keeping the faith that all will eventually be sunny and bright again, we just keep on trekking!

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!

Linda, this is such a soft poem with the serenity and beauty you have penned.  I enjoy the picture you posted with it, too.  It reminds me of that song called "In the Misty Moonlight."  

Aside from fast becoming a fan of you poems, I, too, hope you regain your health surely and quickly.
