 Celtic Lovers ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ On a mystic isle, amid an emerald sea, Celtic lovers sealed souls with flesh. So close were they, that they shared one heart, And together they shared each breath. Beneath pale rays of the pagan moon, On a bed of laurel and flowers, A powerful union was blessed by the gods, In the woods by Duanan towers. As seed was planted in fertile womb, Willows swayed in the soughing, spring breeze. All forces of flora, gods, fauna, and Man, Were absorbed and recorded in trees. Thru’ out the ages, upon entering those woods, When the moon was luminous and high, If one stood still, by Duanan hill, One could hear their lovers’ sigh. On a mystic isle, amid an emerald sea, Celtic lovers sealed souls with flesh. So close were they, that they shared one heart, And together they shared each breath. Love is the unifying force which integrates one’s soul with that of another. ~ Linda L. Dowd |

Dear Linda, this is a wonderful write. The true deep union of soul, flesh, nature and spirit is felt in these lyrics, which read like a song that echoes from the past into the now. Highly enjoyed and appreciated! No doubt Earth Angels see and feel deeper than other earthlings! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Grand-finest (most superb) 'Romanticism' write! In particular I loved: 'Beneath pale rays of the pagan moon, On a bed of laurel and flowers, A powerful union was blessed by the gods, In the woods by Duanan towers.' MUCH applause!! |

oh Linda Angel this sings spring and love and earthly delights "As seed was planted in fertile womb, Willows swayed in the soughing, spring breeze. All forces of flora, gods, fauna, and Man, Were absorbed and recorded in trees." |
