Angel Wings

I pause and witness words of beauty Taking me up to the mountain top A simple gift of serenity I stand still looking over the drop Held in the grasp of expressiveness Taking me to the mountain top I take to the air a silent witness Lifted on phrases of pure delight Held in the grasp of expressiveness My mind is bathed in a pure blue light Riding on delicate angel wings Lifted on phrases of pure delight Freedom is felt as my soul it sings Who knows where I'll be taken to Riding on delicate angel wings So as I inhale sweet words from you Who knows where I'll be taken to I pause and witness words of beauty A simple gift of serenity Dedicated to my Poetry Soup Friends who continue to lift me on their delicate angel wings.

Words and poetry should lift us up and carry us on journeys we would not take alone. Your poem lifted me this morning. Thank you

Rick, this is a lovely poem and dedication to your fellow poets, and thank you so much for your kind comments concerning my poetry, you ask why I changed my user name, well, I did not like how the site was dividing up my name in comments, like Constan then next line ce La then next line France, hated that and also I watched a documentary about using your real name on the internet and it got me thinking, anyways that's the reason why, Constance
