+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ My home is a place of magic, Where other realms you'll often see, With angels and fairies fluttering about, While old spirits simply be. Red roses climbing trellises, English ivies climb walls of brick, Sweet Williams fill the country air, With their perfume thick. White Lily of the Valley, Line my garden walks, And all along the picket fences, Grow colourful hollyhocks. Lush topiary bushes, Lend to the mysteries, Of the mazes and the labyrinths, Among the ancient trees. Following the summer showers, Bands of light crown my home With a myriad of colours, In a celestial rainbow dome. Blue Bells ring the wishing wells, Birds splash in marble baths, Bull frogs croak on lily pads, Cute bunnies hop garden paths. Wind chimes tinkle softly, In the salty Celtic breeze, As Mother Moon smiles upon, All that of which She sees. The sounds one hears in mid of night, Should never cause you fear, For they're the voices of the dead, Reminding us they're here. Crystal wands and essences, Healing herbs and scented oils, All gathered from our Mother Earth's, Divine and giving soils. Father Sun warms days with sunshine, Twinkling stars span ebon skies, Welcome to my magic world ~ A mystical paradise. +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ |

Following summer showers, Bands of light crown my home With a myriad of colours, In a celestial rainbow dome. This entire poem was filled with extremely visual explosions of life, magic and love. Incredibly written....thank you for sharing. |

Such a beautiful magical world... Thank you for letting me spend a few moments in it... I have always wondered why the term "halcion days" is even used... Have you ever taken Halcion? I have once when I got my wisdom teeth pulled and I still cannot remember anything about 18 or so hours after taking it. Hmmm, go figure... |

Lady Marge ~ Why thank you very much! I just rewrote several stanzas so that they hopefully flow more smoothly. I wrote it during the mid of nite when I was a wee bit sleepy and discombobulated! May your day be filled with mystical magic! ~ or magical mysticism! Huggums, EO |

That was awesome! It's what I needed today. It's very relaxing and peaceful sounding. Spectacular writing! I loved it! I'm back! I had issues to deal with but I'm back!

The sounds one hears in mid of night, Should never cause you fear, For they're the voices of the dead, Reminding us they're here. Dear Linda, the above verse reminded me of my Grandmother ... sometimes I heard knocking sounds when I was a child and my Grandmother told me that those were the souls asking for a prayer ... I can't help, but whenever I hear similar sounds I say a prayer. Your mystical Paradise is a very charming place, dear Linda. So beautiful! Love and hugs. Margherita |
