Glorious White Angel Feathers

Anxiety strickened..
Many anxious moments ..
The stresses and pressures of life that strikes upon me
A fever of anxiety..

Wanting to escape the burning fever of stresses..
A strickened life ..
Feeling immobile and anxious..

Wondering what I must do to find inner peace..
Overwhelmed by deep sadness..
Overwhelmed by deep sorrow
Allowing anxiety to take control 
Control the mind, body and spirit..
It had left its mark
It marked its territory..
It found a home..
My home..

I must escape the fever of anxiety..
I can no longer endure it
I pray for inner peace..
I cry myself to sleep..
In a sleepy slumber I am..


I awakened in the morning..
Opened my eyes
Beside my pillow
There were glorious white angel feathers..
Comforting me..
I cried..
This time I cried tears of joy..
One tear drop had fallen unto the glorious white angel feathers..
I graciously count my blessings..
My prayers have been answered..

We are not alone..
A divine intervention had unfolded..
Upon me..
Heavenly..
Glorious white angel feathers..

Gershon Wolf June 18, 2018 at 8:16 PM Your words are so prescient, Robertina! The Psalmist, King David, observes (Psalm 30) "and toward the evening -- weeping; and toward the morning -- joy." (My own translation from the Hebrew). So, you've nailed it.... If I may add, Israelites thank God every morning for returning their soul to them -- 'polished up overnight,' so to speak -- in a little prayer upon opening the eyes = 'Divine Intervention.' All in all, a wonderful write, Robertina!! :) gw

Susan Ashley June 13, 2018 at 8:36 PM Yes Robertina, Divine interventions are truly comforting and positively life changing. It is at these moments of our highest threshold of pain, need, vulnerability and spiritual hunger that they make their greatest and most effective impacts. A glorious poem that I feel, your beautifully expressive and emotional lines bring me back to my Divine intervention that changed everything within me for the better. Thank you for sharing your exquisite poem of Infinite Love and surrender. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan Robertina B. June 14, 2018 at 7:13 PM Always a joy to hear back from you, Susan..
