Blowing In the Wind Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording.  WWI Canadian soldier Thomas Stewart Died in Flander’s Field, Belgium, in 1916 Blowing In the Wind ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ In dismal gray of rainy day, a poppy-pinned lapel, Reminds us all of Flanders Fields, where lie the brave that fell. A time for us to honour, all those who fought and died. Their loss was mourned by families, as their nation’s peoples cried. A war is so destructive, ~ No side can truly win. Tears fall down from heaven, as flags blow in the wind. “The time has come for Man to lay down his arms, and pick up each other.” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

An appropriate poem that must be read out to allow voice viabration to let the message transcend the 'barrier'. Interesting additionof speach and music to your recent works, though I personally love the power of the written word as a medium I have known a couple of stand up poets who are amazing. I wonder if you are heading in this direction, do you attend poetry sessions of this nature? Turn the speach up a bit, your voice is the better music! Great poetry as always.... Ivor PS Have you read, 'Death on the Battlefield' a paragraph in Lord Dowdings book on Spiritulism? |

That brought a great lump in my throat reading those poignant words beause my dad fought at Flanders and although wounded survived that terrible conflict. Thanks for sharing dear Linda, It was a very touching poem, thanks for sharing. A big Hug Lindsay |

Obviously a timely and appropriate 'write!' [at least in the past, some wars were likely absolutely necessary/unavoidable and justified!...instead of just 'invented' to satisfy the relentless ego and private intent of major politicians who are (in simultaneity) incredibly minuscule statesmen and human beings!] Applause! |

Ivor ~ Thank you. I appreciate that tip about the music over-powering my voice. It is such a difficult balance for me to make but I appreciate feed-back. Yes, I do belong to a poetry group and we have an open mike once a month. I also recite my poetry at community gatherings, functions, and a host of other events. It is one of my favourite things to do! ~ and I have a captive audience! They wouldn't dare get up and leave! lol Thanks for your thought-full response!   Linda |

shdp ~ Yes, I do agree with you. Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts. Wars are reflections of the 'societies' that wage them. Times, peoples ~ and wars, change. Love, Harmony & World Peace, EA |

"A time for us to honour, all those who fought and died." A warm tribute to those who really care for freedom and liberty, care enough to put their lives on the line to protect and to serve even to death. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

JL ~ Exactomondo, Tex Man! I honour those who died and those who continue to put their lives on the line for their country. My heart breaks in two, whenever our nation's flag is flown at half mast... Love, Harmony, and World Peace, Linda |
