Angel In the Morning

ANGEL IN THE MORNING

While washing the dishes this morning, I looked at the sky
through the kitchen window for the awesome, magnificent
view of the morning blue sky with streaks of white clouds.

With sun shining bright, the sky was like a canvas with blue
background with spectacular long thin horizontal strokes
of white with the exception of the one at my far right. 

Frozen and stunned, I was mesmerized with the streaks
of white clouds of long thin horizontal stroke, like open
arms, intersected by a longer and thicker vertical one.

The vertical one had a circle shape on top, like a face
and it was wider at the end, like somebody wearing a
long skirt and I became more and more bewildered. 

The more I looked; it was like an Angel watching me, so
I gazed at my left and most of the strokes of white clouds
disappeared or reshaped like a majestic glacier by the sea.

I glanced at my right; wherein there was no reshaping.
After a while, the face started getting blurry and then the
rest of it, while I was still staring at it in awe, dumbfounded! 

Did that happen?   Or did I just imagine it?   What did I see?

A "Beautiful" write. I have never seen an angel. I have talked to people that have. I would love to see them. They are in Bible. We each have a Guardian Angel/s. Keep watching to see more. Have a blessed day..................

Oh, Paula! I was in deep thoughts on my son's well-being with such a severe case of Covid and looking at the beautiful morning sky was a break from my thoughts. With after thoughts, I think the angel was telling me hang in there.

Yes, and Marilene... do believe the angels were looking down upon you. I have seen that image in the clouds myself. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year! Hugs

Whatever you saw, did it comfort you? If so, it was worthwhile! Two people viewing the same cloud seldom see the same cloud! Aloha!

Title reminds me of Merrille Rush's 1968 hit . . . .

Yes, Rico in some way! It is so hard to see your child so sick and my thoughts was consumed of him getting well yesterday morning. Aloha!

Oh, I would not be at all surprised if you saw an angel looking at you from afar, Marilene. Angels do visit us from time to time, I believe, just like they did in Bible times. I am a firm believer in Guardian Angels!

Yes, I believe so, Milt. I was thinking of my son, who is very slowly recovering from Covid and I was wishing he could get over it quickly. It has been more than three weeks since his symptoms started and still having difficulties. It is hard to see him having a hard time. I guess, the angel was consoling me.
