Take my Hand……..a poem by Linda Willows
Heart, dear…come along,
we are walking
we are new.
All of God’s garden,
feels our footsteps
beneath the dew.
Round grow the blossoms
they, open for you.
Feel dear, how the winds lift…
As I turn, whirl, dance love’s hue.
Heart, dear…find the silence
lest my words all lost in weep.
Wonders, blessings, beauties,
these are all our to keep.
Please dear, see still yonder,
is a land that waits to greet.
Hand, dear, take my hand and
lift our journey soft to sweet.

Meet me There ~by Linda Willows
Meet me there
in the sweet green knoll
breast of my Love,
that garden of ole.
Feel the grasses wind round
and blanket the earth
with palms turns upwards,
mounds of God’s mirth.

When the hills call me home ~by Linda Willows
When the hills call me home
I roam, I roam…
Entering the green
I know home, this my nome.
Nature enters the breath of my Soul
Whispers beauty, weeps to extol.
Let all rise, come to pray…
Home, Home, faraway,
Belong, be Love, Be here to stay.

Wrapped in Natures’ Wings ~a poem by Linda Willows
Heart curves to face of such beauty as seen,
‘Tis Nature’s sweet bidings and tender lights green.
She eases all burdens and graspings that lean;
this ancient cathedral of Gods’ sweet serene.
Come close and allow me to breathe all of You,
the nights and days have been lonesome thus too.
If all of your wonders could wrap me full through,
this forest could keep my heart safe in Its’ pew.
Let me hear whispers of how the winds sing,
I long to remember the chords that would ring
as Heaven flies through all the trees in sky’s swing…
Lend this to my heart, oh, wrap in your Wings.

small as a Seashell… ~a poem by Linda Willows
Oh find this my soul,
in the rock and tides’ toil,
in each glory eve
that sets mind to dreams fold.
Find my hearts glory
in oceans that seek,
and rise to the moon with the Light at Its’ peak.
I bow to the earth and the skies all above,
and small as a seashell, I hold all with Love.

“The Wonder of a Day” ~a poem by Linda Willows
Photograph by Micke Jakobsson.
Journey at break of day; it hallows me, it marks my way.
All my reasons fall away. I sanctify and fall to pray.
Leaves of umber, green and rust
You lay upon the ground I trust.
Sacred earth is tendered there
Godly wonders everywhere.
Take my arms that open wide.
Here’s my heart, my ended strife;
Take all In thy sacred Side-
my path of Life, Your step, Your stride.
This the wonder of a day,
Each step brings round once more The Way.

“My Wonder Lives” ~Beauty of Life Photo and Prose by Linda Willows
My Wonder lives
at treetops peak,
in sights that leap
beyond Loves’ keep.
I hold no bound
nor sightly door.
This world, this life,
It’s Grace does soar.

“to see Heaven in a Flower” ~Inspirational Photo Collection from Linda Willows ~ 8.3.2012
I am especially happy to share this inspiring collection with you for its great beauty and depth. All are the works of Australian Photographer Sandra McCabe, who specializes in micro photography and Flowers.
In her bio she offers a quote from William Blake, “To see a world in a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in and hour.” This, she says is the view that she sees through her lens.
That, as well as these remarkable photographs inspired me. I am very happy to share these with you today!
In-Joy. Be with Peace -
Love, Linda

Grandfather Trees ~”Life is Beautiful” PhotoQuotes by Linda Willows ~7.31.2012
Grandfather trees reach to embrace the Sweet.
Touching the soul of life’s winding tale.
As we each, in turn pass, entwine and seek.
We must Love greet; before the end we meet.©2012 Linda Willows

“Soften Our Ways” ~Inspiration with Linda Willows
Tender our touch
As we share our world bright
We, each as sweet petals
Seek the dew and dawns’ light.
Flutter the wings
of all creatures in sight.
Soften our ways as
Love’s veil lifts this day.

Take me home as Your Own
I’ve no more lone and emptied tones
I have sang for so long,
Word felt called to end my roam.Let Nature’s arms receive me new
Take my heart – this Love all through.
I cannot hide, this worlds too wide.
I’ve tried and tried. It was Mercy’s ride.Such path here deep green
pulls my heart through to sunbeams
Take me home, as your Own,
following into the glory Light’s Lone.©2012 Linda Willows

“I live in God’s Garden” ~Inspirations with Linda Willows
I live in God’s garden in midst of nature’s bliss
Forest quakes to Dawn’s Light with the touch of its’ kiss.
Heavenly Home deems Peace into all mystic green.
All awakens from fore to live in Love’s dream.Take forward my Heart to the Love yet to be
As I wander throughout such mysteries of Thee.
I live in God’s garden, as one in Love’s Trail
Such home is earth dwelling, Peace is it’s true Hail.©2012 Linda Willows

“Such Treasures Left as Night is Done” ~by Linda Willows
River carries the Moon through
Dark Night’s sparkle and view.
All bend in to sense embrace
Of the shine from Blessed Face
I have found same everywhere
In far journey’s lost and dared.
And the touch of your reached beams
Always sweetened in my dreams.
River here flows through there…
With Light’s bend everywhere
Such treasures left as night is done;
I smile to thank each Moon’s Sun.

“With Scent of Earth and Tree’s Cascade” ~by Linda Willows
With Scent of Earth and Tree’s Cascade
As a girl I lived in a tree,
On branches high and gloriously free.
Where air and breeze set God upon thee
All aglow with secret mystery.
In willow waves I deeply swayed.
Therein my dreams were solemnly made.
Cast each June in four o’clock shade,
with scent of earth and tree’s cascade.

“Each Blossom Folds Round” ~Inspirations by Linda Willows
Each blossoms folds round
amidst and entwined
Hues contrast and blend
to Song wonder would find.
The divine fragrant blend
is the harmony of each.
Yet our hearts fall asleep
sometimes just before reach.
Joy lives amidst
nature’s simple relief.
Seeks not who is who,
but celebrates beneath.
It is essence that joins
all in song and imbues,
the wondrous call
that awakens each hue.
©2012 Linda Willows
“We each are valuable in the circle of Love and cycles of the Love and Breadth of the Divine. Together, we form a greater whole, one complete as a humanity, imbued equally with the Wonders of The Creation and cause Song, Universal Sound to call forth, out and with evocative beauty…to harmonize with the Nature of the Divine. We must harmonize first with ourselves, with our fellows and in fellowship to all. This creates an alignment which floods the gates of sound, breath, love, Presence and Witness to a kind of Oneness perhaps not fathomed. No one walks alone. We don’t become “enlightened” in self caves; comes a time when passion must include Compassion and indeed, “We must love our neighbors, as ourselves”. from Linda
