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

Donna Dearest ~ Thank you so much! Actually, you responded before I could repost the audio. I had made a few blunders during the first recording.

Have a great day!

Love to you!
Linda

Lindsay ~

I am pleased that you enjoyed it. I am curious, ~ were you able to hear the audio? I believe that those who have dial-up instead of cable, have a very long wait to download the audio. There are some who do not have an audio card.

Love to you, Aussie Man!

Linda,

There really is nothing left to say, when are you bringing out your audio album!

Three things make good poetry:

Readability, whatever the style

A strong and capturing story

And finally leaving the reader to bathe in the meanings and their own feelings and interpretation.

This was brilliant poetry!

You're back! Gosh, I have been missing both your poetry and your blessed pip presence! ~ and after that highly complimentary response ~ I think I've missed you even more than I had thought! lol

Thank you so much!

Giving you a very warm, welcome-back hug,

Paul ~

I do believe I'm blushing! I have been so deeply gratified by the responses to all of my recorded posts. They certainly have been worth the effort I put into these mini 'productions'! lol

Your warm reply ~ and your saving of this post ~ is very gratifying. Thank you!

Love & Spirit Light,
Linda
