Ride the winds of love. Gather up the hearts of doves and fly them to distant lands. Each one please teach one how to hold hands instead of guns. For the ancient story of old is still being told, that Love and Peace are worth more than gold. Written while listening to "In a Distant Place" Native American and Tibetan flute music blended with harps and drums. Thank you Nakai, Eaton, Clipman, and Nawang. May the ripple of LOVE |

OK, Larry. Climb aboard my magic carpet. This CD is worth searching for, ask your local store to order it if they haven't got it in stock. Then sit down and be ready for a enchantingly wonderful experience. |

Startime, I am so glad you read this. And here is one for you, I have this feeling you could write a magic carpet ride poem without ever leaving the ground. |

very nice-- I will have to put on some of that music and come back to this.. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

You have that CD? Fantastic! Right now I am listening to Kitaro, 'Thinking Of You' CD. And I'm thinking of starlight Jaime, under Colorado skies. Isn't the 'Distant Place' awesome? |

I am stunned by the sheer beauty of your words. I love Native American folk lore and their colorful language. And, I love their deep spirituality...the way they commune with their Creator through nature. This poem reminded me of all of this. Thanks so much for sharing it. ***Ivy Rose |

Ivy Rose, thank you for your kindness. The music inspires me, and then the words just seem to flow, as if carried by the winds. Logan, thank you so much. And I sang that song myself, so many times in the past. It is still a timeless tune. James, glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the visit. |

Ah Midnitesun, my spirit is with you on this one, for as I started to read this, Phil Coulter's "Dear Sarah" was being heard... no man who has been to war wants his son to go, today, no woman, her daughter... a timely piece...peace... |

Yes, the songs of Peace and Love must travel around this globe and encircle every heart and mind. I am honored to be amongst so many Love and Peace 'flute players' at this site. Your songs and words are always welcome in my home. |

Very nicely done, midnite one. There is something about flute music that is so magical in the way it can transport you to a different level of existence. I personally love it...and I love this poem  |

LOL, Larry, you caught me off guard this time. But the truth is, it is -40F outside tonight...a good reason to hibernate. Actually, I'm about ready to post a new one. See you there! |

How did I miss this the first time around. You speak so often of your desire for peace and harmony throughout the world. I share your sentiments strongly for that. If only we could see it happen If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Magnus, of course! There's always room for more, and you can help select the tunes. Sudhir, so happy to see you here with your peaceful heart. I hope and pray for India and Pakistan to find peaceful solutions to conflict. Tracey, I guess it's a central theme with me, and will remain so as long as Peace remains a dream rather than reality. Somedays I feel that means as long as humans walk the face of the planet. But apparently even the dinosurs fought. |
