#Angels walk among us – v2

If we believe in demons
in spirits of evil, of darkness,
if we are quick to see struggle
forces aligned against us
why not protection, presence,
of good watching over us…
 
Angels walk among us,
of that I am certain,
in our days, our journey,
our lives are watched over
God, through others, angels,
protects our very lives.

a vanguard of angels climbing

a vanguard of angels climbing
soaring higher, higher,
soaring above the treetops
in the early glow.
 
creatures of heaven
leaving as the sun rises
protectors of our dreams
returning to their quarters...

red sunset turning to mauve, to plum – v3

At work, on the register, in this moment,

unable to leave, to journey,

to find that perfect place to witness

the changing from day to night,

the wonder of the sky.

 

Ablaze, burning, scorched,

remnants of the fires, hazy,

capturing a moment, a lifetime,

stopping just for an instant,

running across the street.

 

Sky a canvas, the dome,

catching a glimpse only, before fading,

running out to meet it, to greet,

red sunset turning to mauve, to plum,

color growing ever deeper.

 

Fading of the light, its dying,

longing to remember, to capture,

the sun’s last brightness

the quickening of the night

growing ever deeper still.

bands of plum, of amethysts - v5

bands of plum, of amethysts - v5

I felt a need to go, to see,

stepping outside to look

the sky, off in the distance,

beyond the wires, the lot, above the woods,

a combination of warm and cool colors

caught between day and night.

Rich, broad brushstrokes

bands of plum, of amethysts,

magenta, dusty rose

and wisps of smoke,

were written, layered together,

to see, to feel, to drink.

There was a whisper across the heavens

fading colors of the sunset

the dying of the light

after sunset, second sunset,

a time of twilight before darkness

the full blooming of night.

a time of twilight before darkness

full blooming of night
