Flight of the Angel

Prophetic are the dreams of the chosen
For they live in death and die in memories
Through sparkling crystalline eyes they see
A place where death does not exist
Blessed be those who see through the deceit
A curse to those who wallow in conceit

I walk along golden cobblestones
Where purple and orange tulips lace the land
My feet are guided by destiny
Though I know not where I go
Fear nudges me to take flight
I want to soar as eagles do

Simple are the whims of Gods
And those who know this take advantage
These re-born spirits in old bodies
Appear out of silence and whisper to the blind
“Fly away my little birds, fly away” they whisper,
“For a storm arises from the East, and who shall be safe”?

Through watery eyes I continue my journey
Watching the bright yellow moon kiss this fragile world
This reminds me of the innocent
The passionate and sweet dreams of the children
And this I feel in my heart
For I have stared into the eyes of the lost
Only to glimpse shadows of myself
I humbly embrace my faith

I have seen ghosts walk amongst the living
And I have happened upon the dead
Where cirrus clouds were abound
Racing swiftly across the skies
Creating giant shadows of time against white temples
Temples whose peaks reach the Heavens
As a multitude of solemn bodies continue to build
Reaching out to that which they do not understand
I now realize and relish in my destiny
A prophet has awakend!
And as I relinquish that old body
There is a whispering in my ear
“A storm arises in the East, fly little eagle—fly”
But I smile amiably
Because the stars wink encouragingly to tomorrow
And my dreams have told me the sun will shine forever.

Marcel:

amazing masterpiece you have here
truly in awe

“Fly away my little birds, fly away” they whisper,
“For a storm arises from the East, and who shall be safe”?

Through watery eyes I continue my journey

and through watery eyes . . . this I read
amazing xxoo
