Angels

I cannot see you with your

white feathers stretched

across the vast sky

your glittering hair

swayed by the wind

I do not see you

but I know you are there

seated on a limb of a tall oak 

rising up above the buildings

I do not see your finger

tap my shoulder mid text 

while driving

or how you whisper don’t go

though I turn my ear towards the sky 

to listen

I do not see you, but know

you speak to me always 

in a language I once knew

and yearn to remember.

Nice, ethereal verse in which you seem to be saying that you were with the angels before being born to earth. The last stanza, though it can be interpreted in another way, seems to be saying this to me. You were once with them and spoke their language, but since coming to earth, you have forgotten, simply through non-use. I like the way that this poem describes the activities of these heavenly beings.

You read it exactly right. Sometimes we write and don't know exactly where it comes from, but that's exactly what I meant. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Happy writing,
Jennifer

I'm listening to your thoughts because I want to Jen, not have to. And I do not hold any author captive by my listening to and commenting on their thoughts... Read mine if you like or not - it is ALWAYS your choice and not an obligation.

[JenniferMarie]

For sure. I know, but I too enjoy to read your work and the work of my fellow writers here. :) Have a great day.
