Best Transformed Poems

One summer in a garden at midnight,
I chanced upon an angel standing where
the moon made a mosaic with its light.
He must have come from heaven; oh how fair
his alabaster skin and eyes of blue!
The guardian of my heart he might be.
How wrong I was! For...

A life lived in denial...

Pressures exerted from the outside.
Life dealt him the hind-side...

The emotion of fear -

Crystal clear stream
As if in a dream
Listening to its flow
Slowly awaken from her daydream

Drenched and invigorated
Way beyond what she anticipated
Hopeful even during adversity
Her faith has germinated

The true meaning of the cross is not just something during lent,
The meaning is a way of life,...

A lonely gull cries from within the gloom
Of ghostly dawn, where the grey mist gathers.
Except for this, the silence of the tomb
Suffuses life itself : worst of weathers.
The cold, bone-numbing fog pervading all
Now leeches light and colour from the vale,
Reduces beech trees that were proud...

One bright afternoon,
The sky began grumbling as
darkness fell swiftly.
While rain pounded my windshield,
my heart matched it beat for beat.

After a small time -
darkness fled as my heart lost
its pitter patter,
and the brightening sky changed
to the blue of robins’ eggs.

Above the mountains,
a lovely bow stretched across
