Every angel is terrible
And still, alas
knowing all that
I serenade you

    ~Rilke, The Second Elegy

let me sing to my angel    
let me sing bare flutter of wing  
air of sentry
ah
let me sing arms  
bony legs that capture my desire
hold me  
let me sing nights spent in gardens  
and streams    
days slept away  
in dream cloud

let me sing to my angel

wingwrap me angel
fly me under clouds
to places that cry
and laugh
take me places left damp from living
dry from footprints
hot from tears

ask me angel
what does soul say?

then
listen and

let me sing to my angel

what a treat...another in the series

to wake up at 1am wide awake and not be able to go back to sleep...this makes for some good reading

oh sigh....your song makes me sigh Lady Kate....

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna
