CHARIOTS OF HEAVEN Chariots of Heaven Descend from the shadows Of the moon... Beyond the misting eyes of midnight ~ Searching for remnants Of shooting stars once fallen… Without the graces of wishes made ~ From hearts That breathe life into dreams… And molds beauty into the frailty of life’s empty promises… Even when the music is gone… And the dance floor is vacant… Standing alone and abandoned in pools of teardrops ~ ~ ~ Beneath the cold and empty whispers Of forgotten pain scattered in yesterdays. Chariots of Heaven Descending from the shadows of the moon On a journey to embrace Surviving dreamers… Focusing through the eyes of time ~ Graced with vision that reaches Beyond the darkness of midnight’s veil… And salvages the heartbeat Of compassion’s dreams Chariots of Heaven…. Descend from the shadows of the moon And shower your tender kisses Upon my face ~ Tasting the teardrops That beckoned you… That were shed for you… That believed in you When time denied your existence. Chariots of Heaven Descending from the shadows of the moon… …sweet serenades and lullabies…. from beyond the veil of Heaven’s floor That penetrates the darkness On the edges of midnight’s silhouettes That kiss away the teardrops… And replace them with promises Of shooting stars that grace the Heavens Upon the winds of wishes made From hearts that still believe in dreams. |

Chariots of Heaven…. Descend from the shadows of the moon And shower your tender kisses Upon my face ~ Tasting the teardrops That beckoned you… That were shed for you… That believed in you When time denied your existence. ***** How comforting and moving these words are. I felt blessed in these lines. Kate Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. T S Eliot |

I agree with Cerenity, this works really well in my mind as a song Martha, so comforting are your words always, but these especially were so beckoning, and serene. Wonderful as usual. This poem was just... ~*~A poet is someone who reads more than they write ~*~ |
