Pearlescent angels twinkle in a perma-marker black ink sky, fluorescent float upon the atmospheric elements ethereally etched. Helix of a thin air eye strain helium, shrink wrap to the golden cling film wings on flight bound beings so celestial. Nocturnal hymn’s fluent gush from velvet tonsil songsters, sonic bursts weave marsh reed basket cadence while skirting pear shape lumen streetlight lamps. They soar upon ecstatic thunderstruck carnivals of cloud whose furnace red pulse rate sears in vivid plasmas. Such creatures gild imaginative other-worlds we artists in our rainbow-tinged brush strokes can only dream of. Ascension ladder seraph who inveigle universal karma’s latent spirit vault, associated magic laden mineral seam incumbent begging for a treasure trove virtuoso heavenly harvest. Cherubs that whoosh phantasmagorical around a dormant midnight slumber while the cosmos breathes its unearthly satellite upon empyreal spheres

A prayer in poem form, the angels , who come from heavens in ecstacy of celebration, gave a humbling vision to the reader. I could imagine Handel's Messiah being sung in the background.

This is a great poem of the ethereal and celestial nature of angels as they soar through the night sky, creating a sense of wonder and awe, Howard. The word choice in the poem is vibrant, creating a sense of magical imagery. Your use of words like "pearlescent," "ethereally," "helix," "fluent gush," "phantasmagorical," and "empyreal" to evoke a sense of enchantment and wonder.

What interesting juxtapositions:ink, marker, fluoro, shrink-wrap, cling film beside celestial beings. I like the phrase, 'Ascension ladder seraph' :)
