I call upon four-cornered wind,
and whisper names of guardian
a summons now I call to thee--
angels lend your ear to me.

Fly low, fly low,
you'll find me there...
knees and elbow
crawl despair...
embattlement
of self in spent
clipped wings
assured descent
I summon all
you've my consent--
ascend, Ascend,
the Raptured stair.

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought,
I summon up remembrance of things past ...
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

I need some wings to fly this day
for in the depths, I seem to stray


your poems are very well done, serenity
I have been remiss for not responding much, but between headaches and this flu or whatever it is that has it's hold on me, I have only been reading, when I can...mostly to bring in some lighter thoughts.
