Angel Wings

Angel Wings

Deep in the mud, the ocean sends her best.
Riding gentle upon the crest.

A pair of wings in the mire will come to rest.

Search low, instead of high. Watch their wings
unfurl, as the living creature inside of them slowly dies.

Beautiful as a papyrus scroll.
Ancient as the greenest Knoll.

Such grandeur found only in the mire, as the scholars seek to slowly unearth this sunken
treasure.

Yet, still rarest by far, it has the courage
and strength to endure.

Just a little note of apology here. I made an attempt to post this in the open poetry forum but somehow, through my blundering posted it on reflections, without the title I might add. A fellow poet brought it to my attention, since I have such a choatic schedule and I owe him a debt of gratitude for it. My sincere apologies if, through my idiotic blundering I have stepped on toes I shouldn't have.

You should never apologize for something this beautiful.
