Harpist Angel

As if she stretched both sides of her smile in pizzicato, then lets go... Each note ascends, circles her head like a halo. Cascading strings send shivers through clouds. ‘Nine’ giggles — the proverbial cumulus- humulus. The harpist angel weaves her fingers in ancient frolic. The instrument, rocks like a baby in her mother’s arms, with wings upright. Tight like friends, bound to serve, their souls are one. The shalom of solitude and harmony, sympathetic vibrations, and God’s love. 4/13/2021 Anacreontic Verse Sponsor: Silent One Each line 3-5 syllables 29 lines

I often picture mirth like this in heaven. "‘Nine’ giggles — the proverbial cumulus- humulus. The harpist angel weaves her fingers in ancient frolic." It comforts me.
