Music: Angel Symphony of Love and Light by Andreas Mock

The Edge of Time
by Linda L. Dowd

Through swirling night skies of indigo blue,
bright beams of moonlight were streaming thru’.
Diamond-white rays limbed a distant shore,
as I gazed across seas into Evermore.

Flashing auroras lit up neon night,
as I peered in awe at the glorious sight.
For there before me, lie mystical lands
with tropical trees and white, sifting sands.

Gardens with flowers of every hue,
and unicorns romping, came into view.
All was innocent and simply sublime,
in a land existing at the edge of time.

Towers of ivory touched sorbet skies,
where dwelled fairy prince who ruled paradise.
This mystical world appeared once a year,
when Duanan the Druid would reappear.

The wee Celtic folk danced in gay merriment,
in high celebrations of this happy event.
With ringing resounding from blue floral bells,
they whirled in circles around fairy wells.

I stood there in silence in a state of awe,
at the beauty and gaiety I joyously saw.
But then in an instant, all blurred in the midst
of a dense rolling fog of heavy dew mist.

What was it I saw? ~ And dare I believe?
as I gazed across seas on a midsummer’s eve.
Perhaps I was beckoned to this land sublime,
to remind me of home at the far edge of time.

Through swirling night skies of indigo blue,
bright beams of moonlight came streaming thru’.
Diamond-white rays limbed a distant shore,
as I gazed across seas into Evermore.

“We are born of star dust,
And to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Darn! I have put off listening to this because I knew that your voice would be so heavenly it would ruin me for all other women.

I was right.

How could you? Happy now?!?!

It's beautiful, Angel. Your recital reminds me in a way of Nights in White Satin.

Amazing

Seriously speaking, your adorable reply had me smiling so broadly, that my cheeks hurt! lol

Perfection, dearest Linda Angelo Terrestre!

I think I will just cling to your wings so that I won't miss any of your magical visions.

You are a sublime gift, you know!

Love and hugs.

Dang it, my sound isn't working because of some sound driver error, snap! I will return to hear this beautiful poem as soon as possible.

"Towers of ivory touched sorbet skies"

I'll tell you Linda, that was the kicker for me right there. Beaulicious!

I'm so glad that you liked the music! I do too!
I take great pains in searching for the 'perfect' piece to accompany my poems.

There are also times when music spawns the poem!

That's my favourite line as well!

Probably because it appeals to my love of sorbet! Mmm! ~ and I love the vibrant fruity colours!

I hope you get your audio up and running. Those ding dang driver errors can drive one crazy!

That was especially sweet of you to say!

However, I do believe that you have ample amounts of your own "fairy dust"!

It was so nice to hear from you today, Martie Flowers!

Giving you a big, warm, loving hug!
