an angel's breath









breathe the breath that angels share
on balmy summer nights
as they dance through silver fronds
while chasing pure delights

and feel their touch as they enlace
their magic through your mind
to softly falling water drops
that open your eyes blind

to rainbows in the glowing dark
of streetlights that you guide
through a world of wonder filled
with joy that grows inside

they touch the ones whose hearts allow
the mysteries in their soul
and fill with glee the seeking hearts
that through the moonlight stroll

  13. I remember such and angel .. on such a night .. and the shared breath.

    Thank you, for that. A memory that has been too long untouched has now been revivified, re-remembered and refreshed.

    And it's refreshing.

  18. i was just thinking -
    when i stand on the ground here with my head held high and arms stretched toward the sky i am upside down to those who are doing the same in the southern hemisphere... and vice versa - if we could see each other as we stand Shadow, we'd see the bottoms of each other's feet :)
    Let's go barefoot on opposite sides of the world together!

  30. I did as you asked and the pure delight flowed through me, chilling me on this cold winter night.

    But as I did, I stiffened and could not feel fingers or even open my eyes, the magic had wildly taken my sight.

    It was pure and had a neon blue glow that filled all my senses causing my heart to shout its joy and solved most of the mysteries that came out that night.

  31. The opening reminds me of a song by Emitt Rhodes called "Lullaby":

    Tears that angels cry/ they darken all the sky/ when the one you love says goodbye/ tears that angels cry

    Sing a lullaby/ sing it soft and only sigh/ when the one you love says goodbye/ sing a lullaby.

  32. Your words shadow your words!

    they're all in one

    they're medicine that cures

    they're your love that heals

    and in them you list ingredients

    in them your clearly define

    you freely give the instructions

    and the reasons your loving way

    works


    lovely words work when light cast

    you're shadow!
