+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
A whirlwind of color
surrounds me when I fly,
through luminescent archways
in rainbow summer sky.
I'm lighter than a gentle breeze
that lifts balloons up high,
and freer than the songbirds
that wing across the sky.

My heart beats in harmony
with the pulse of Mother Earth.
I've been in touch with Nature
since the moment of my birth.
I have a sense of purpose
and I see through eyes of mirth.
By flowing with the Universe,
I have a sense of worth.

My home is very far away,
~ I exist on several planes.
I travel heaven's skyways
and on these earthly lanes.
When I'm sad and lonely
or suffering woes and pains,
I simply rise above it all
and head for peaceful reigns.

now I dwell on several planes.
I travel heaven's skyways

Sometimes the only place to be!

An Angel indeed - heralding inspiration -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I am more spiritual than "religious". Mind you, I had been baptized in three churches prior to my becoming a spiritualist!  ~ Anglican, Evangelical, and Catholic.

I appreciated your response, Dear Dixie!

Love & Spirit Light,

Mr. T. ~

If I write like an angel, it is because I am surrounded by them! ~ Just as you are!

or suffering woes and pains,
I simply rise above it all
and head for peaceful reigns.

Beautiful poem of inspritation Linda. I wish it was always this easy to rise above those things that would keep us grounded here and not allow us to enjoy this peacefulness....
sigh..
very well done dear, thank you for this.

Exactly, my friend! Once I learned to "let go and let God", I was able to fly free! It really works! I have been able to handle all that life dishes out to me ~ and believe you me, that has been considerable!

~ Let go and fly high and free!

Great big, good morning hug,
Linda

You are most welcome, Dear Donna! It is not always easy, but if I allow myself to let God take hold of the reins, He takes me to a better place.

Love, Light, Peace, and Harmony,
Linda

Your reply was indeed a  "breath of fresh air"! It felt like Spring as I read your cheerful response!
