The Errandghost


The errandghost in livery
of nobled high divinity
wends spacious ways upon her pens
and with a trenchant gazement kens
the worldkind lands and citizens,
and residents of bright heavens,
in flight throughout the universe
a messanger, a knight, and nurse.
She plays the inner harp of things
and tend its tunes on sublime strings
Upon the sky will so please on
a cloud formed as an airy throne
and wake solace within a strain
over the kingdom and the plain.
She keeps a rare and layered shield
with heart and sword fixed on its field
that change and wars endured and made
sharp in defense, stout for its trade
that hangs at her back, prompt to wield
protection until dangers yeild.
And speaks a tongue without a word
but in between all things is heard
her errand in all ear she says
though clenched lots stall, all will embrace.

To me, you paint a powerful yet calming picture of the spiritual ones who are set over us in high places to watch and protect us.... and what a beautifully magnificent image she appears to be here in your most descriptive poem.  Thank you for sharing and God bless you.

I like the ff. lines, esp.

"She plays the inner harp of things
and tend its tunes on sublime strings"

"She keeps a rare and layered shield..
...prompt to wield
protection until dangers yeild.
And speaks a tongue without a word"

This sure fits a guardian angel image, and I do believe we each have one, arranging our personal clouds and skies.
Lovely thought.
