Wonders of An Angel

WONDERS OF AN ANGEL


Beside the falls where the angels live,
In the depth of a Venezuelan green,
I've come to see
You who shine beside the water's edge.

Rising high, trampling wonders, 
Dear lady, I wish to see
The beauties you uncover for me,
Show me your heart's beauty,
For a nation awaits.

If not for you, who gave me bravery,
If not for you, who gave me courage,
Dear angel do not fall, for people of
Mankind pollutes you forever.

I long to see you up,
Up beside my shoulder,
rising high, higher as I cannot see
You truly are the ninth wonder,
Who's secrets we long to see.

                                                   ~ RASHEN SAMARAWICKRAMA

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.
