 Artist: Jennifer Harmes Bed of Roses by Linda L. Dowd Drink the magic of fantasy's store, in the Land of Forevermore. Sate your soul in the ecstasy, of love, and laughter, and revelry. O'er troubled bridges, may you leap, and with the angels ~ may you sleep. While all is blessed ~ both near and far, in your land of Shangri-La. May manna be your food divine, and nectar brewed to honey wine. And all you feel ~ think, see and do, be reflections of the god in you. May moon and stars shine down on thee, in your dreams of fantasy, as you lie still, in sweet repose, on petal bed of love's red rose. “We are borne of star dust, and to the stars we shall one day return.” ~ Linda L. Dowd [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (01-27-2008 12:40 PM).] |

Spellbinding, wonderful words, dearest Linda!! A true masterpiece. I am sure that dear Seymour will be moved deeply in "receiving" your message of beauty and love ... I firmly believe he is delighted in this very moment, while he absorbs the scent of love you sent out here. United in love for dear Seymour. Margherita  |

Brings tears to my eyes, Linda, as I cannot imagine more fitting words for our Sy. Not tears of sadness, but tears of tender joy for Sy knowing fully he has found that illusive treasure he has spoken of so many times in his poetry. Thank you for the beautiful penning, sweet Angel.

Only an angel could write such loving words to another. Ever since seeing Titia's photo tribute to Sy along with a picture of PiP's beloved Chipmunk, I sit here with tears rolling down my cheeks. What a loss for this wonderful place of friendship. Love to you, Marti |

Thank you all for being a part of this post for pip's resident sonneteer ~ which he will continue to be.  ~ Lindsay, I think your posting of a reply 5 times, is a record for one of my poems! I hope you get your posting glitches straightened out. ~ Hmm, but then again, perhaps not! lol That was especially sweet of you to say ~ 5 times over!  Love to you all, Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (02-01-2008 01:32 AM).] |
