My Poetic Heroine

Like a wind chime’s resonance,

her beautiful expressions;

gently caress my soul.

Like the exhilarating fresh scent

of spring rain, her passion;

is truly inviting.

In her well of wisdom I find

sweet language;

that quenches a dry spirit…

and in heavenly places, angels

sing her blessed words

in soft canticles;

that drift like incense~

These words are entirely too pretty for lil' ol' me, Michael...

& I thank you for the gifting of them, my Friend.

Good luck in Nicky's contest, Sweetie.

An infallible and oh so malleable admiration of OUR Poetic Heroine! You have painted a Pearl of a Poem, my Friend...

"and in heavenly places, angels
sing her blessed words
in soft canticles;
that drift like incense~"

...Sighhh.

Are you One of those Angels?
I Love It, Scribe!

Yes indeed...loved the incense touch here, Michael. A lovely, soft-flowing penning for a very special woman and poet. I know she will love the way you have painted her here.
