![]() Photographer:Phil Schermeister Whisperings by Linda L. Dowd Listen to soft whisperings as snowflakes fall from opal sky. ~ Gently, and in slow descent, to where they come to lie. Go within and listen to whispers carried on a breeze. ~ Spirits warmly reaching out in mid of winter freeze. Hush, be still, and listen. ~ Let the silence speak to soul. Our ears need never hear a word, for whisperings to make us whole. ~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (01-04-2009 03:29 AM).] |

Yo dear Linda, I hear the snow whispering. I have very cold and sharp ears. The snow is plotting against me. It does it every winter. Love Bobby |

"Our ears need never hear a word, for whisperings to make us whole." I need to have this made into a sign and put over my office door. Excellent! - |

Those snow whisperings are driving me crazy Dear Linda. It's 43 degrees outside which I think is about 110 degrees farenheit. Not fit for man or beast. Please send some of that weather over here, but don't be too long. As usual loved your poem. love Lindsay |

Lovely words from lovely Linda! "Spirits warmly reaching out in mid of winter freeze." I think they're reaching out too warmly in my part of the world because they don't know that it's summer here. I could do with a cold reach out every second day perhaps but, no, it's a warm reach out always. Hugs Helen |
