and I
on bended knee
in solitary repose
arm outstretched as if in
dance
……deciphering
the visions floating
in my head
imagination perhaps
…..a dream
in blackened chiffon dress
collecting thoughts
indeed I tried to
make some sense
…..for
I pictured modern angels
who danced
a rhythm of
their own
perched mid air
enraptured by the
beam of light
with poise and grace
and arms outstretched
…..as mine
enigmatic
bellowed sleeves for wings
they hung above my head
was it from
a dance in life
or a dance
after their
…..death
yet I felt
no fear or anxiety
for their faces held
…..no pain
I heard whispers
merely ethereal souls
on our
journey from
…..earth plain

So beautiful
why thank you Eun π x
π
This is so descriptive – I just love it! π
Good evening my friend – thank you kindly. Nice and warm up there? Bit chilly down this neck of the woods π
It’s about 22, but I’ve got a cardigan and trackies on. How quickly I’ve forgotten how cold I used to be when I lived down south π―
My feet are perched on top of the heating vent…sad but true. π
Oh dear! I bought a foot warmer from Target when I lived in Canberra last year. Best investment ever! LOL π
Oh I also have my uggs and tracks, singlet and jumper… when I retire, I’m going to live in warmth, 22 would be nice right now.
It’s really nice. It doesn’t take long to get used to the tropics π
…enigmatic
…bellowed sleeves for wings
