Wing To Those Who Learn

I found a light 
Bleached like white 
Not dark .. black like night 
But dove calm heaven  angel wings hold me up tight 
Peace of softness as the wings touch my skin 
Crystal bright waters , cleanse me of my sin 
everything so pristine everything so clean 
Heaven in the highest ... sun warming my skin 

Soft silky dress , tight around the chest 
Yet comfortable wearing lace and sash 
Smooth fresh air , blowing on my back weaving my hair 
Many eyes upon those, down in pollution earth 
Yet we live to serve ... wings given to those who learn 
That life can always turn 
Sun can come out... even if unseen 
Kids can sleep happy.. peaceful dream 
Family's can have joy.. laughter and smiles 
Wings to those who learn 
That you should never let it burn 
Never let your soul churn 
With hells fire.... rusty dirt
You don't always need pain
You don't always need hurt 
Soon you will have learnt 
That no matter how far down you are in the dirt 
You can rise and forgive and forget those you have hurt 
or those who have hurt

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Wow, You have entranced me, your first stanza hooked me in, such a description that pleases and completes the light. And the form of your character, every description building on the next, you have a great way of doing that. Your write was a pleasing one to read! :)
