Hey angel, I've caught
soft memories in your glance
of what was once genuine serenity
and through salt and effigies
of sorrow
I could still tell when you were smiling
You doubted that wonderment could exist
as anything other than shadows behind the sun
but made it so that, it existed as your attribute
You could end...living wingless
If it meant a moment in the sky
Hey angel, no matter
how fluttered you appear
you still soar, if only as a kite
held by thoughts
You soar, to mock those that crawl

I love the last line.
You have a way with those, don'tcha?
We should talk more!
You should get on msn post haste.
Mhm.
Anyway, I love this whole thing...It's a tad bit different from your other poetry though.
Which is ok.
I like them both.

The second stanza is brilliant and powerful! You did a wonderful job...The only thing that throws this off is the flow of the piece seems a little broken in some places...But the more times you read through it the better it flows...I just thought I'd point that out! Brilliant piece, as usual!
