The Epiphany Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music is entitled: Zadkiel, The Heavenly Power of Prayer by Andreas Mock From the Merlin’s Magic album: “Angel Helpers”  Artist: Eva Gabriel The Epiphany by Linda L. Dowd Dust motes danced in gold rays of light, as I lazed in a Sunday morn’s bed. Sagebrush thoughts kept tumbling around, my dazed and sleepy head. Pensively, I languished there, then from me slipped a sigh, For thru’ the open shutters, I spied blue denim sky. Billowing clouds were swirling, playing hide-and-seek with the sun. I wished to fly up high and free, until my days were done. The struggles on the road I’ve walked, had taken a mighty toll. I yearned for sweet serenity, to soothe my sinking soul. While lying there in reverie, an epiphany soon appeared. ~ Each step in my life’s journey, was to be embraced ~ not feared. Through loving self and others, and with faith in God Above, I could conquer what came my way, through inner strength and love. By turning from my challenges, my essence had lost its glowing. ~ I had to walk with head held high, and trust my inner knowing. I swiftly cast the covers off, and leapt from my cozy bed. No longer would I hide from life, ~ forthwith I’d live instead Dust motes danced in gold rays of light, as I lazed in Sunday morn’s bed. Sagebrush thoughts kept tumbling around, my dazed and sleepy head. Pensively, I languished there, then from me slipped a sigh, For thru’ the open shutters, I spied blue denim sky. ~ |

Dear Linda, This is fairly good. It would be better if you dropped the last two strophes. Bobby |
