 Artist: Heinz Voss At Trail's End ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ In mares of night, in aimless wander, Down unlit roads, I’m deep in ponder, Knowing not which road to travel, As my life is in unravel. I wend my way through dead of night, My tortured soul cannot take flight. A leaden weight pulls me down, In to dark waters where I’ll drown. I wake with gasp upon my lips, Down slippery rocks my footing slips. With every ounce within my being, I rise from depths with eyes now seeing. It matters not what be my trials, ~ I'm walking tall, my measured miles. Knowing that at trail's end, Heaven's Light shines 'round the bend.

"With every ounce within my being, I rise from depths with eyes now seeing. It matters not what be my trials, ~ I'm walking tall, my measured miles. Knowing that at trail's end, Heaven's Light lies 'round the bend." A poem of inspiration by you will lift many a weary traveler, Earth Angel! This was very special, indeed, and right on time.

Angel-hearted One ~ Hi, Laura! Usually I write a poem and then I go treasure hunting on the net for a painting to complement it. It is a bit of a thrill for me when I can team up a pic with my poem! I'm pleased that you appreciated the outcome!  EA |

The night can be heavy, every problem blows up if sleep won't come ... but at the end of the tunnel there is always a new dawn bringing new hope and you speak of this light so very beautifully, dear Linda. The end effect is deeply comforting! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Steven ~ I like adding a light, up-lifting ending to my heavy poems. Mind you, I just wrote a downer of a poem ~ right to the end. I have a tendency to not only write what I feel, but I also feel what I write! I suppose I should now write something cheerful so that I don't get my own self down with my writing! Linda |
