An angel asked for one more kiss, just...
Dr. Seuss said, "Our troubles will have troubles with us..."
She bends her wings down almost touching the floor
feathers so white...
Are we any stranger than angels?
Ask me anything when I am lost in the light--
Find out what it cost me... and why I fight:
All along the fallen flower
Pods prance around the stems' edge
A seance for seeds seeking, calling power:
To cover highways with hedges.
Claws find purchase as talons lance, and
Little bird feet dance on concrete ledges.
Hope floods the valley, dappled,
Spilling puddles filling pools:
She lives her dreams... as water rises.
Eyes alight with fire burns liquid into steam
Twin hazel suns from the daughter's irises.
Strain your ears to listen, then
Listen well... listen slow...
Stand next to the tallest tree
As high as the sky, as wide as the wind,
All around the forest, sunlight falls like snow.
