Featherbell Sleeves

By train, plane, by wings,
I hear the angels sing.

Their featherbell sleeves,
golden flutterbies weave

in mind-blowing confection.
I remember the affection

for long distance kin and kith —
missing links that make me writhe,

and Niagara Falls - its plunging
neckline, of psychedelic rainbows, lunging

catapult of sentiment and mist.
The kiss of sunflowers on smiling lips,

cruising excursions, explorations then kips.
The reward of sleep in the rocking cabin -

the deep with its sonorous spin.
Let the feathers fly! In travel, they win

and at last I’ll be calm of Hesperus dreams,
those dreams that come apart at the seams.

I hold tightly to sleeves, that cure of Spring,
a blizzard of lucid color that true living brings.

We know from the Bible that angels sing. Human sounds can have great tunes, but angelic voices adorn heaven.

Creative and descriptive work. I wonder what that heavenly choir will sound like? I can't imagine when we all gathered home and the choir starts to sing a song that has never been heard before..We will be in harmony and unison. Sara

Gives me goosebumps, dear Sara, as does the song, “I Can Only Imagine,” truly a gift from God above. God bless you always!
