Written: October 27, 2023 For Ink Empress Contest _____________________________________________ Under the diaphanous glow of the moon. They rise sequentially to a delightful boon. They have no feathers to adorn their skin. They still sway quietly and love to spin. Angels evolved with their comely wings. Let our souls fly via shadow, amid springs. Their dulcet grace shone, and they were brilliant. A rule was argued until it was deemed resilient. In their mellifluous flight, they blaze a path ahead. To rise across the humdrum and the dread. Embracing our true nature, our inner light And embark on an endeavor that glows bright. Heave-hoed hereof hallowed halls of heaven. Their flaps hurled them forth, yet again leaven. Their minds were furtive on the floor, twirling. Sage sight scarlet-smeared saffron swirling.     On an arcane spring day, an eternal angel sings. A world abyss carries empathy and peace strings. Humming his tune all day over freshly cut hay As the sun set down, the haycocks turned to clay.   Scorch my lips and quench my thirst. I sense a schism and wish the wood had burnt This cherub has no feathers in his wings. Spouts anguish from inside, a burning ring.   Intense heat as they recover and renew. Blaze floated and lower downward blew. As a flock of birds drifting in the auric air. Wisteria wains on white wings and stares.   If wings have been equated with plumage, These angels provide us with a fresh triage. Strong featherless wings are a sign of pride. Challenge us to prevail utterly by their side.   Featherless angels are luminous and buoyant. Seek their wise and keen support as clairvoyants. They elevate us to eager heights on invisible wings. Sending smiles to our faces as they fit past things. They serve as a signal that we are all free to fly. Despite challenges and tribulations, we rely Their vitality is stored in the depths of the soul A heavenly grasp, an aura of celestial stroll.
