Gliding On the Light of Beauty

bagpipes started singing of her Amazing Grace, flowers started dancing the twinkle on her face feeble are some steps but with unflinching pride she picks up her head and the lift in her stride sweeping past her subjects the moriahs drift her wake, the beauty in her heart breaks my breast to ache with a kaleidoscope for eyes she sees through to other worlds, to the mosses of the leaves and the shells within their pearls rocks and anicent relics hyroglif this scrolling mind, in the letters from her heart a life's mystery is defined my Angel from the north plays on the northern lights, and I can always smile as she reaches dizzying heights shining in the stars when they turn to light my sky, is message to my spirit to always remember I can fly for Ann a true inspiration ...on the occasion of her 70th Birthday ... lol sorry for the confusion

wow,who might this Ann be? sounds like one amazing lady!! Since you gave her age, I looked back up at stanza two and that one made a lot of sense then. Luv, Andrea

I am not sure if you are seventy or if Ann is seventy...Enjoyed the beauty of your written work...I am glad that I chose this one to read this morning...I hope that your python doesn't get out of his quarters and be really hungry with all those other animals around..He could fill up very fast...Sara

What a lovely birthday gift. Your "angel" sounds like a wonderful person who provides you with great inspiration, Jayne. I particuarly love the next to last verse and the description of how this Angel plays on the northern lights. Great work, my friend. Love, Carolyn
