Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2004-05-09 11:40 AM



Balanced upon the breath of time, God created angels
Beautiful creatures, hair brushed golden by sunrise
They drifted along through silver mist
Undaunted in the wake of iniquity below them
Precious beings, crystalline in form
Heaven's own daughters, fated to be the guardians of mortality
Twined midst archaic hymns of loneliness, they sang
Oh, to hear such sweetness 'twas truly a blessed thing!
As the years slowly faded into eternity, a rift in destiny was found
One single angel was left stranded on dusty soil
Exquisitely lost
Radiantly humble
How she came to be my mother, I never knew
But earth angel, she is...greatest of them all.

If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi

A magical tribute to your Mom.
She is surely delighted by her daughter poetess!

Indeed, your mother sounds as tho' she is a true Earth Angel ~ and might I add that you write as tho' you be an angel yourself!

Love & Light,
Linda
