~*~ Moonbeams slip through shutters of the open bedroom windows. Slender fingers of light reach over me, casting my languid body in silver. Lady Luna's sine qua non seeks my soul, illuminating it with her godly light. Memories of ancient times are awakened and I begin chanting the song of the Druids. I rise and find my way to the ocean shore, with an inner knowing of sacred secrets. With arms reaching for the stars, I touch my very own spirit. I stretch and gently rock back and forth in the primal rhythms of long ago, breathing in essences of ages past, allowing the mysteries to enfold me. Bathed in the serene glow of the moon, I am transported to another time, another place, when Dance of the Dawn ushered in the morning sun. With waves lashing my legs into divine movements, the glorious sun rises at the edge of the world. ~*~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-25-2003 10:12 AM).] |

I rise and find my way to the ocean shore, with an inner knowing of sacred secrets. With arms reaching for the stars, I touch my very own spirit. Linda, this is so beautiful. I love it all. And, my friend, congratulations on 11,000. I've enjoyed every poem and reply of yours that I've read. You are such a sweet lady. You know, I only noticed the other day that you came to Passions one month and two days before I did. You were so nice to me when I came here that I thought you had been here a long time. You helped to make me feel right at home. Thank you for being you, sweet friend. Hugs Ethel did. [This message has been edited by garysgirl (07-25-2003 02:18 AM).] |
