One Silent Night Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: “El Noy de la Mare” by Steven Schuck From the album “A Celtic Celebration”  One Silent Night by Linda L. Dowd One silent night, when all was still, in snowfall soft, I walked Church Hill. Bathed in glow of lamplight shining, shone Tudor homes with ivy twining. The cedar boughs ~ hung low with snow, were lit with lights that made them glow. The air was sweet and fresh to breathe, ~ each door was hung with Christmas wreathe. Gray plumes of smoke rose in the air, from homes of olde down lane way fair. A peaceful scene ~ serene and lush, this Christmas Eve of calming hush. A Currier & Ives picture card, ~ to inspire the quill of any bard. One silent night, when all was still, in snowfall soft, I walked Church Hill. . |

I feel a calming hush coming over me. Pure magic Dear Linda!  I love the music too. I'd love to get my hands on it  Love, Tink If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

My dear Linda Angel, you pen exactly what I miss so much here where I almost never see/experience snow. Thank you, most beautiful soul, for immersing me in this magical hushed sacred atmosphere! The sound of your heart/voice adds to the expanding feeling of peace and harmony. All my love and Merry Christmas! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Marvelous Margrit Margherita ~ I too, would miss the snow ~ especially at Christmas time. It makes me happy that my post was able to lend a "magical hushed sacred atmosphere" to you, divine poetess. ~ You write the sweetest comments, and they are always enjoyed and appreciated. Love & CHRIST-mas Light, Angelo Terrestre  |

James ~ If my poem was able to give you a measure of "joy", then I am only returning some of the joy that you spread with your love-ly poetry. Merry Christmas to you, Hawaii Man! Love & CHRIST-mas Light, Linda :hugs; |

Linda - I think I'd like to experience a white Christmas before my time is up. We are sweltering in the heat at the moment so the idea is more than appealing. You have lovely silent nights, Linda! |

Bunches of Honey ~ Christmas is even more magical when there is a winter wonderland outside. The snow glows from the Christmas lights and from the carriage lamps that line our Drive. I don't like the heat at the best of times. I think I am part polar bear. lol So, this cold spell suits me fine. May you see snow before you "go"! Blessings of love and joy to you, my SA friend! |

Back to the top with you! So everyone can adore this as much as I do! If I could I'd stay on Church Hill and snuggle up with a nice hot cup of cocoa. Doesn't hurt to dream  If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Ceinwyn/Kris/Tink ~ Sounds like a plan! I'll bring the hot chocolate (with lots of marshmallows on top!!!) and I'll meet you on Church Hill. You bring a comforter and we can meditate together and drink in the tranquility of the scene! Gosh, I feel more at peace already. It's been a wonderful Christ-mas, but I'm tuckered out from all the hustle and bustle.  Loves 'n hugs ~ and peace & tranquility Linda |
