SILK SERAPHS

SILK SERAPHS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
morning's fiery edge ascends~
kaleidoscopic procession of
pinks, blues, yellows catch my eyes.

above me, a fleet of silk seraphs
claim the cerulean sky,
sun's warmth igniting their ethereal sails.

the silk seraphs easily glide~
like dreamers across celestial skies,
they drift along effortlessly.

burners' gentle roar, a soothing serenade~
the ballonists soar in burnished metal baskets
while passengers wave as they pass by.

above quilted plains, tiny silk thrones reign~
like my wayward thoughts
they meander carefree.

the wind gently carries them higher aloft
then…..pooooof….they vanish.
magic comes with dawn’s first rays.

Nicely done. ~ Gershon Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/31/2025 5:56:00 PM awww, thank you, Gershon! Yes, 'seraphs' is not commonly used these days.
