 Artist:Bill Curtsinger My Inner Sanctum ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ All was gray this November morn, For a bank of dense mist had rolled in. ~ Blanketing all in a somber pall, Much to my rue and chagrin. When I opened the shutters, there lie before me, An impenetrable wall of fog. And the only sound that did break the still, Was the lone, haunting call of a frog. A veil of gauze did filter my view, Of the harbour this late autumn day. A gloom had settled upon our port, Engulfing me in dismay. Negative ions soothed my senses, And the mist did moisten my skin. I experienced a calm not felt before, As I turned pensive thoughts to within. Within the still of the encompassing fog, I found my sanctum santorum. This sacred place lies deep within me. ~ It’s the home of my spiritual quorum. I stood there in silence, as if under a spell, Communing with God, land and sea. ~ Understanding my place in the Universe, As a part of All That There Be.

SweetEarthyOne~ 'My Inner Sanctum' I had one of those once ... now what did I do with it ? Oh ... yes, now I remember ... I loaned it to a friend~ Well ... like that proverbial 'cup of sugar' ... I think I'm gonna ask for it back~  LOVE your pensive thoughts dear one~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I stood there in silence, as if under a spell, Communing with God, land and sea. ~ Understanding my place in the Universe, As a part of All That There Be. Howa!

Red Granny ~ One of my 'grannies' was called "Red"! Whenever I see your name, her loving smile appears before my eyes. I know that my Nana Red would appreciate your warmth and wisdom as much as I do. Your kind, thoughtful comments are always appreciated, Dear One! Sending you a warm, loving hug, EA |

I love the fog... whenever I can sit in it and listen. *S* Now driving through it... that's another matter entirely! *S* But to simply sit in its mist, allowing it to block out all distractions... that does invite introspection. *S* Beautifully written! |

Dear Linda, I enjoyed your Inner Sanctum Sanctorum greatly ... and it is so soothing, that I am ready to lay me down to sleep ... not before visiting that wondrous place you have so masterfully described, knowing that in that "special Communion" I find comfort. Loving you, Poetess. Margherita  |

Understanding your place in the universe... a most enviable achievement indeed. Those of us who hide in our inner sanctum dream of finding such enlightenment. Very well written and speaks much. Thank you for sharing, Linda. |

Hi, Toe! It appears that we were responding to each other at the same time! ~ To each other's poem, that is. Nobody can "talk a bath" like you can, Bama Boy! Loveya, Linda |
