Upon angel wings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon angel wings,

you carry me.

my burdens,

you embrace.

Life,

lived in the shadows of others.

pain there in my mind,

you saw.

gently,

holding me.

caring while the rest looked away.

You'r strong hold,

steered me through the storm.

being my eyes,

when I was blind.

stubborn,

indeed i had been.

Yet,

you never strayed,

always knowing what was right.

Upon angel wings,

I learned to see.

the world changing,

shaping into something new.

Light now shines,

giving me warmth.

As you try to walk away,

tears streaking down your face.

Strength you gave,

I now will return.

For while you gave,

you lost so much more.

Sight gained,

showing me your pain.

truth comes out,

my time has come.

you weaken,

as the days wear on.

my heart trembles,

but hands stay strong.

swiftly it comes,

rain pours down.

 one tender glance ,

tears fall freely.

night,

of great sadness.

to say goodbye,

and fly upon angel wings one final time.

Beautiful! ~ This has such a calming feel to it as i read... peace comes to mind. And you make me remember how i often think of death. THis is comforting and i love it. Death is nothing to be afraid of... we shall all reach there but we mustn't fear the unknown.. ~
Such strength this has! I'm glad. Thank you!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Your piece speaks to the reader as a guiding and elegant story, well done, good read.

[Dean Kuch®]

Such a soothing contrast to what most poems about death contain. This piece is eloquent and has such a tranquility about it. Death is a part of life, part of it's cycle and the nature of all things. You teach us here to embrace death with dignity on that fateful day that our time runs out and our number is eventually called.
