Wings - Part II

By M. Jay Mansfield

held down and rooted

by the glow of the light thru the trees

a simple floating angel

carrying the weight of a thousand centuries

bright wings they flutter

flying close to home...

willing sacrifice from heaven

chills me to the bone

a simple everyday angel

coming towards me fast

totally enthralled

listening to the wings gentle flap...

bright wings they flutter

burning my crystal soul

warmth love laughter

waiting to call him home

sweet angel dances

and it grounds me to this spot

sweet wings they call me

and my mind reels with thought

preparations begin...

a nest is made in hopes

waiting for the bright wings to land

building a place for angels to land

in this simple home

bright wings they flutter

with every beat of my heart

watching the sun set and moonfall....

they get closer still

gentle flutters from heaven

bright wings fill my heart

scared, strong, waiting...

here I am.....

anticipation filling, love sweat and tears....

waiting, waiting, building...

for bright wings to appear....

love ...joy... smiles.....

waiting...

a place built for angels....

always in my heart....

always...here....
