 Artist: Brian Gordon Green The Harbor of Your Arms ~Linda L. Dowd ~ This hurricane, in all her fury, Will not beat me down, Nor can she break my spirit ~‘Tho debris lies all around. Trees uproot and bridges fall, And roofs fly by like kites. Waters rising to mid-thigh, And out have gone the lights. Winds may wail, and gales may storm, And rains may pelt my skin. But in the harbor of your arms, I’m well and safe therein. |

Perfectly penned Linda.. Hoping all our Floridian members stay safe. Don't tell God how powerful the storm is.. Tell the storm how powerful your God is. |

Enchantress ~ Thank you, Nancy. Yes, I too have been praying for our Floridian friends and for everyone else in the path of Wilma. The meteorologist on CNN commented that many Floridians are suffering from "Hurricane Fatigue". Considering that they have endured 8 major storms in the past 15 months, 'tis no wonder!  Linda |

Linda To feel that safe within someone's arms is a wonderful feeling, isn't it? Almost worth a hurricane...no, maybe not. |

Marge ~ I agree! That picture is magnificent! It is of a sunset as the evening skies of a hurricane are clearing. It's good to see that you weathered the storm! I have been very concerned for all of you down there! Give Delaney and Landry a great big hug from QEA!  Linda |

Inspiring Earth Angel, I never though for a second a mere hurricane could break that indomitable spirit of yours. :-) |

Steven ~ Actually, I do not live in the area that was hit by the hurricane. I was just putting myself in that situation and writing about it. Your sweet comment made me smile. Thank you! Linda |

greco ~ It's good to hear from you! I haven't seen you around very much! Loving arms encircling us can make even the most intolerable situations, tolerable. Fortunately, I live far from where the hurricane hit. Love & Light, EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-24-2005 11:15 PM).] |

Dear Linda, sweet spirit, you conveyed something so intangible that so many poets strive to do...the contrast of the storm and the warmth of his arms.....just so fitting. Much enjoyed this, dear one! .......lily jo |
