The Spirit Of Earth Angels (Metered Mirror Rhyme)

Missing image

I AM each one – I AM the Whole
My Spirit dwells in Grace
While birth I take for common Good
On Earth, in Time and Space

As Angel I take human form
My wings I gently hide
My mission : spreading Love and Light
A helper by your side

Absorbing suffering and pain
Transforming grief to Love
My heart is like a power-plant
Enlightened from Above

On other planets I have been
Where there’s no war or fight
Enjoying everlasting Peace
Abundance and Delight

From out of space I looked on Earth
I saw the human pain
Deep-rooted in perverted thought
When minds become insane

From painful thought, disease will spring
In body, mind and soul
Belief of being separate
Distracting from the Goal

The Human Goal is not to fight
To satisfy desire
It’s realizing Unity
And lighting Sacred Fire

For this I have come here, my friend
To help you with your task
I’ll light your candle with my Spark
Whenever you shall ask

I AM each one – I AM the Whole
My Spirit dwells in Grace
While birth I take for common Good
On Earth, in Time and Space

    Hello Self,

    Blessed maa, while here walking amongst creation's fine views... it is the singularity of vision as expressed through your words that often takes this one's breath away. So many speak of ONE-ness yet so few walk it... so few really see IT... not only do You capture that wondrous manifestation we call Rod, Rahad, Myrddin, Merlin, or any myriad of labels, but all those manifestations that know or are known, intermingle into the WHOLE - even as we grasp for clarity of vision in our fractured experiences - HERE in this place You gently pull us out of delusion... into that WHOLE.

    That Your wondrous banner has been dipped in the gold of men is testament to the appreciation of all our gratitude... we would dip these words in Love and present them back to You as a heartfelt proclamation of who WE are... I so appreciate the works I see through that part of me that is You. om

    ~P

    this is very nice. it's very interesting to take on the view of this. and earth angels, my i have stories to tell of these. People appearing and helping you when you need them there and then disappearing without a trace. Some stay with us others leave. Thank you for this poem it is very good

      yes, isn't it amazing ? once, we had a little motorbike-accident and the huge bike fell on my hubby smashing his foot ... I screamt : "heeeeeeeeelp !" suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared, lifted the heavy bike and when I tried to find him to say "thank you", he had disappeared into nowhere ...

    Oh, my sweet little sister...

    ** Sweet li'l sis you make me cry,
    From deep within you bring a sigh
    Of such deep Joy and Holy Love.
    Please know my soul you truly move
    With this sweet tribute from your heart.
    How can I from this place depart,
    When such sweet angels here abide
    To fan the flames of hope inside
    This grateful lamp, this point Light?
    Yes, I have returned from a short night
    To this joyous piece that makes my day.
    Within this fold I'll surely stay
    To add my light with all the rest,
    Knowing with sweet friends I AM blessed! **

    Thanks so much, little sister! As our friend Margaret said, I agree that We Are, each Oneness, each Allness, bright sparks of the Light, pure angel thoughts of the ONe Mind, needing only to let our true Self shine. Thank you for this beautifully flowing and reflectiing piece of Love given and received from and by the Heart.

    Be ever bright and blessed, li'l angelic sister,

    Rahad

    Dearest maa, I just loved this! No matter how you say your words: forward or backwards they are so widsom-clad. You have a burden for humanity--a true angel-- and it shines from your heart of love. I wish I were more like you in this regard. I loved the imagery, 'igniting sacred fire' (my own heart's desire). Beautiful, serene, exquisite, spiritually consoling, meter challenging, perfection. Luv, annabelle

    This is so beautiful and thought-provoking. I wish I was head-smart enough to fully understand each verse but the message is perfect. You are an earth angel and so is Rod You always make me smile with your lovely soul-touching poems I love the background you've used here too, of course !

    applaud this

    I loved this very much and there are angels among us at all times I believe God sent in human form to help here on earth and I have even met a few I would call angels when they are needed the most and are always there for us in great times of need. I too believe in Angels Very beautiful in word and thought. Lovely write

    this is very beautiful thinking and writing. i really loved this because somewhere in my own secluded mind i find the thought that all people are angels and all angels are people, or at least were on one trip to this earth...if only we all could remember our wings while here....wouldn't it be a beautiful world?

    As I have never attempted mirror poetry because it's extremely long and repetitive, which commonly has the reader loosing interest once they get to the edge of the mirror. Yet your lovely piece, at almost perfect meter (nothing is ever perfect) did not suffer the loss of my attention. In the poem before the mirror's edge I found a few suggestions for typo, proper english, etc changes in the following lines:

    As helper by your side
    (change: As "a" helper by your side)
    Where there’s no war and fight
    (change: Where there's no war "or" fight)
    Which springs from mind insane
    (change: Which springs from "minds" insane)
    For this I have come her, my friend
    (Change: For this I have come "here", my friend)

    Once you have crossed to the other side of the mirror, you have the same lines that need the same changes.

    In the mirror, it did not sound as great as the first. It lost it's overall flow. Especially in the
    lines:

    From painful thought, disease will spring
    Which springs from mind insane

    The repetition backwards made it hard to read and really didn't make sense. Thank you so much for sharing this was a terrific piece. Luck for the contest.

    Always pen from the heart and you shall never write wrong.

      dear song byrd,
      thank you so much for having offered me your time and attention ! your suggestions have been most precious for me (since english is not my mother-tongue, and I mess up a lot ), and I have integrated all of them already in my poem ...
      I even succeeded to change the weird lines into more sense-making lines
      I appreciate your help so very much !!!
      you deserve a mega-huge cyber-hug for this :
