Heavenly music
start now
The Angel Called Poetry
She stepped out of clouds in a dream one night
Into my waning fire
Citing hints that she'd been sent
To ignite my dead desire.
Whispering words below her breath
She bade me to come nearer
In trepidation, I leaned in
But I wanted so to hear her.
Poetry is life and life it's heart
She said and waved her hand
And I inspire the world to write
Be you woman, child or man.
Give me poetry, I begged
I need it like the air
For I've been blocked by mind distress
And no poetry is there.
Oh, it is there, my frustrated friend
And you will fulfill your task
I'll put the words within your heart
You only need to ask.
I'm asking now, I said to her
As she surveyed my home
Bereft of love and lover, yet
She gave to me a poem.
And what a poem that I did write!
As she whispered so softly
The Poem of Poems, a magical poem
The angel gave to me.
And now I stand before the world
My soul is bared and stark
As I recite in this bright light
What was written in the dark.
The angel called Poetry
The beautiful one
With a heart full of joy
And a face like the sun.
She came from the Heavens
And the Sea filled with words
Bringing them to those poets
Whose prayers she's heard.
And I know she heard mine
For she appeared then to me
Stepping out of the clouds
And fresh from that Sea.
Giving me words
That I've never used yet
Burning them in my brain
So I will not forget.
And I write and I write
As my glad heart keeps humming
And I rhyme and I rhyme
And the poems just keep coming.
But there is one special poem
Gathered out of that Sea
That she gave me to write
To bring Love back to me.
And I'm writing it now
On the door to your heart
And it binds us forever
And will not let us part.
Do you hear it, my love?
Does your soul hear somehow?
Every line calls your name
Bids you come to me now.
And I feel her still watching
From that place far above
The Angel called Poetry
From the land that's called Love.
