Notes About The Poem

An Angel In Disguise

The snow of winter has melted
Spring's warmth a golden touch
Freedom at the creek with the wash
Only through love can hurt be lifted
And if fear didn't flow awash 
Of those many harsh words and such

A pensive mood her expression 
Deep in thought 'bout her plight
Just a shadow of his presence
Gave her whole being oppression
But this creek her pleasance
A wild garden space a delight

The rhythm of the water's sound
A coolness of the rush
Bare feet being cleansed and massaged
Free space, quiet, thoughts being drowned
Negative being barraged
Babbling and chirping help to shush
