My Spirit Lover Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: “Victorious Spirit” by Dan Gibson from the album Gentle World: Tibetan Wonder  Artist: Marianne Caroselli My Spirit Lover ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ I climbed moonlit hill to the summit, Rising up from a midnight sea, When a whirling wind, came wailing in, ~ Breathing life into the soul of me. With my arms extending skyward, I reached for the glowing moon. And was lost in that timeless moment, ~ Reeling in rapturous swoon. While swaying to haunting, pipe music, Into the wind, his name, I did call. I yearned to be filled with his starlight, Or to the depths my spirit would fall. Lost memories of my long-ago lover, Rolled in with the waves of the sea. I longed for his return to my side, ~ For he was my reason to be. Transfixed, I stood in the moonlight, As my essence ebbed out with the tide. I stood sad and alone on the precipice, Without a vestige left of my pride. Dispirited, lost, and forgotten, Oh, how my lone heart did grieve, When I was caressed by a touch ~ so familiar, On my quivering, buckskin sleeve. Spirit lips softly covered my mouth, Breathing life into the soul of me. Enveloped in a warm blanket of love, ~ My broken heart was finally set free. I reached my arms up to the heavens, I was Mother Moon ~ and I was aglow, For I had been shot with starlight, From my spirit lover's bow. I climbed moonlit hill to the summit, Rising up from a midnight sea, When a whirling wind, came wailing in, ~ Breathing life into the soul of me. Love is the unifying force which integrates one’s soul with that of another. ~ Linda L. Dowd |

Helen, it was because you had written in one of your replies that you enjoy my poems with audio and that you keep an eye out for them, that I posted this one! I almost wrote next to the title "reposted for 1slick_lady", but thought better of it ~ given the subject matter! lol Have a great day! Linda  |

Hi Linda, First of all, I just love this painting very much, they way light falls from above on both of them is very beautiful. I couldn’t get the audio to work for some reason, enjoyed reading though.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

With the music and the calmness of your voice, I found that to be a gently- haunting and sooothing experience. |

Prasad ~ Yes, I agree with you about that painting. Marianne Caroselli is one of my favourite artists. It's a shame that you couldn't hear the music. It is hauntingly beautiful and I play it over and over again. It is deeply relaxing. Have a great day! Linda |

Mesmerizingly soft words and music... I sigh because I love the feel of softness by the sea on a gentle night...the murmings and thoughts of closeness so easily come in the vastness of ocean and sky. Incredible how powerful love is, even from one world to another. A young friend from Africa told me once, "If you can dream it, it's yours..." so true when dreams are often more real than tangible experience. Accolades!

ROFL @ your quandary re 1slick_lady... LOL You are a character, my friend. *S* And you're also an artist... For I had been shot with starlight, From my spirit lover's bow. I love this image... it truly does feel like that, doesn't it... your life gains sparkle... whether the lover is spirit or flesh... if it's right? *S* Beautiful work!! |
