Poem Artwork


Your wings wrote
in scripture what
your future would
hold

you were the angel
child looking through
the creative soul of the
window

will the people be
friend or foe

herbs of parsley,
rosemary and thyme

angel girl child come in
from out of the water so
cold

You are now a beautiful
woman living between
salt water and passionate
tide

the one in whom I
confide

you invented the wisdom
reaped from the renaissance
sickle

show me how to let the
dried heather
trickle

from your fist spreading
the harvest of our
importance

on my breasts, let us go
to *Scarborough Fair
once

Your wings wrote
in scripture what
your future would
hold

A true love sage
you were
told.


 

*Scarborough Fair---my analogy for a "place" you will never forget my love~

Sure do like these "take-off" poems of famous songs, etc., you give depth where there may not have been so much, and Sage, you have a way of writing that is absolutely unique. I have never seen your style before, and I dare say I won't see it again, unless someone tries to ape you, and THAT would be laughable. Just take a look at those who try to minic Poe, for instance, can't be done.

Sage

God never forgets or forsakes his angels, sometimes he justs leaves us awhile to cook and stew in our own mess and pottage, until we see sense and return to the fold..
.
The analogy is superbly portrayed in the Parable of the Black Sheep (Return of the Prodigal Son )

Excellent redemptive work and beautiful graphic !

Blessings
Peter

Angel children are popular this morning, sage (Rebecca), and your wee winged cherub is a real cutie - a meadow mouse who grew up to be the cat's whiskers. miaaaooowwww! k

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
