A Place to Stand

 

Looking for an opening

She can’t find a place to land

Clouds of rock and glass

It isn’t what she’d planned.

 

Movement all around her

And she’s spinning in the rain

Hoping for a jagged curse

Then someone calls her name.

 

Out from the earth she rises.

Her wings wide and white.

Dark rain clouds above her

Snarling demon takes flight.

 

It looks for an opening

It can’t find a place to land

No one calls its name

Exactly like she planned.

An interesting turn of dispositions. I hope she rests well now that you have given her a place, and the demon only finds rest when God grants it. Your writing has heaviness and imagery that captures thought and spiritual wandering....

i like the sense that she finds and knows herself well enough to stand strong

it is good to come to the empowerment of ones-self
and this is not to say "snarling demon" means of wickedness
for me I see taking initiatives & this is a good thing
representations & symbolizations

It's not a fanatical Christian piece of poetry. Who's to say it's a Christian piece at all? Birds of prey take flight with wings pouncing on those of lesser caliber...

Love,

THIS IS SO WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. AN INTENSE POEM THAT SOMEWHAT REMINDS ONE OF THE RAPTURE... WITH WONDERFUL PHRASES, RHYME AND IMAGERY. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. LOVE,
JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
