While walking in the darkness
an angel fluttered by,
her wings, threads of silkiness,
connected to the sky.
.
I reached out to touch her hand,
she nodded with a wink,
and then she opened up a book
handing me the ink.
.
I didn’t understand her speech,
the language was remote,
in my child mind I saw her words
so this is what I wrote.
.
“Don’t be afraid to walk the night
for it’s the path that leads to light
And don’t forget the ink and quill
penning words to please His will
A silent voice will come and sing
a choir from an ancient spring
And all of life will come your way
within the poems you pen today
So close your eyes and listen well
remembering the ones who fell
And write the words that angels send
like feathers floating on the wind”
And as I finished penning,
the words that she had shown,
I took a look and was surprised
at how much I had grown.
.
I was a little child no more
nor was I in the night,
the sunshine wavered down on me
and I was in the light.
.
So many years have vanished
and put me in this place,
and upon another look I saw
His holy bless`ed face.
.
So,,, this must be heaven,
I said without a doubt,
the angel took me by my hand
and led me on a route.
.
All the poems I’d ever written
were strewn across this course,
and every one without His name
were sobbing in remorse.
.
How could I have forgotten
to write from within my soul,
how many words were penned in vain
without a single goal?
.
And when I had awakened,
tears were in my eyes,
streaming down like raindrops
from the stormy skies.
.
Was this all just a dream
a nightmare or decree?
Or, do the angels really visit~
whispering poetry?

This is so beautiful, Sis! I am so glad I stopped by your page tonight. So much here about writing and growth, but this stanza really causes me to stop and ponder:
"All the poems I’d ever written
were strewn across this course,
and every one without His name
were (was) sobbing in remorse."
Gives me the chills. How much of our life is lived for Him? I waste a lot of it looking for my own satisfaction and kudos. Thanks for the reminder!
