 Artist: Peter Ellenshaw Pool of Reverie ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ Languid lie I, in liquid dreams, where pool warm thoughts of you. Images mirrored on waters still, ~ memories of loving true. A twirling leaf in slow descent, falls from yon willow tree. And rests upon the surface calm, of this pool of reverie. ~ * ~ Love is the unifying force which integrates one’s soul with that of another. ~ Linda L. Dowd . |

A beautiful poem Linda, we all have our pool of reverie to retreat to. Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told. |

Linda, this is really beautiful, and fits my mood perfectly this morning, as I penned one in the wee hours with this line: 'I am she, who sits in silent reverie' (not yet posted). (I posted it late afternoon, "I am she") |

On a night when my thoughts are churning so that any pool of them would make a person seasick, I needed the serenity of this... You blend poem and picture beautifully, my friend... and provide a most welcome oasis. *S* Thank you! |

Suthern One ~ Your wry, witty humour, cracks me up! ~ "Seasick" ~ I'd risk it! Mind you, I'm relieved that my poem offered you the "oasis" that you are in need of. ~ May gentle breezes fill your sails as you sail calm seas. Loveya! Linda  |
