Sweet Riders of the Wind

Sweet Riders of the Wind

A Poem by Lesley Wood
"

Winged fairies of iridescence; shining brilliant, reflecting rainbows....

"


Winged Fairies of iridescence

Shining brilliance, reflecting rainbows

Upon this Concrete Jungle

How do they heal the tiniest oasis?

How do they find the life in the dust?

Their fluttering & kisses

Are like promises to the heart

A lift then a lurch

To see such fragile beauty

Struggling against the Hot Metal Beasts

Oh, so bent on destruction

These tiny doctors heal the world

And spread such beauty, warmth & cheer

To our cold, sick, broken hearts

A pierce of light in all this darkness

Keepers of the Light

Keepers of the Flame

Kissing health & joy

To that which is ashen and dead

Like magic, blossoms burst

In searing explosions; like fireworks

A silent symphony of color

Oh, sweet treasures from the sky

Riders of the wind

A flap, a beat of tiny wings-

Angels come in all sizes

Messengers, healers of light & love

A true joy to the heart

A flame in the Night.

Beautiful, just beautiful. Your words paint lovely images in a cold hard world. Well done! Were it polished, could it shine much brighter�.
