Soul Whispers
by Linda L. Dowd

Soul whispers sough thru’ riverside willows,
~ Long ago sighs from lost lovers in dream.
Tho’ spirited passions entwine thru’ the ages,
Their skin cannot touch with fires agleam.

Yearning for love ~ yet neither had found it,
~ ‘Til their dying days as Fate’s famine claimed all.
Tho’ long-searching hearts had touched but a moment,
On whistling winds, their soul whispers still call.

Soul whispers sough thru’ riverside willows,
~ Long ago sighs from lost lovers in dream.
Tho’ spirited passions entwine thru’ the ages,
Their skin cannot touch with fires agleam.

~

Earth Angel - you sure do write well, and must have much romance in your warm heart. Well presented, and well written...

Oh, dolce Angelo Terrestre, I am so happy to find you here with such a deeply romantic and otherworldly awesome poem. You my dear in your Angel quality hear those soul whispers soughing through the willows, I do not doubt.

Love the new word I have learned "to sough", it fits so well!

And of course I love the new picture, my beautiful friend. An Angel touched by an Angel, you both shine so intensely.

All my love,
Margherita

Dear Beautiful Angel of Earth,

I have missed you and I worry when I don't see you for too long.

You, my dear, are a treasure.  You make my heart believe in romance.

I love you, Lindy Lou.

Linda, as lovely as all your poetry is, I think this is one of my favourites - I am afraid to say my most favourite - as there are so many lovely ones.  

The picture is so beautifully matched too.  

And you look so elegant in your new photo which is so appropriate with another angel in pure angelic white.

Okay - you had me crying with this one, Linda.  Sadly I think your poem has a touch of truth in it but that doesn't detract from the "goodness" of it.  Lovely!

Hi, Honey, if truth be known, you are correct in that assumption.

You read with your spirit heart and knew...

It's a gorgeous painting! You are fortunate to have a print of it. In fact, I have used it once or twice before with a poem of mine.
