Shadows Of An Angel's Wings

   

Give your dreams a chance to fly with the butterfly

As they spread their wings to allow all of nature to see

The colors you envision and hope to one day be.

 

Allow your hopes to climb the tallest of trees

Climbing through twisted branches like a maze

Using each one as a step to reaching the highest leaf.

 

Release your inner faith into the unpredictable winds

As it soars onward toward the wild blue yonder

Not letting the gravity of others crash it into the ground.

 

Give your love the chance to nestle in the nest

Of a heart that wants to bring it warm shelter

And feed it strength even when you have your own.

 

Under the shadows of an angels wings

Life will always be beautiful and bright

If you just BELIEVE.

Awwww
*sigh*

This was really beautiful Dale, not at all something I would expect a cowboy to write - ha ha
But seriously, what a wonderful piece. Loved your imagery and the peacefulness which came seeping from your piece almost makes me want to believe too.
Very inspirational, think this could lift even the heaviest of souls right now.

Thanks for sharing, needed something like this

Why thank you so much, really glad you liked it.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Inspirational I must say... the words are simple to the reader and justifies the intent in your verse... The last line of this tells the whole: If you just believe... at times hard to do... and a moment to realize what life is all about...

This poem speaks volumes of truth. This is beautiful and inspirational. I believe that if we love God he will help us in this life. And the protection of an angels wings is a glorious place to be.

Give your love the chance to nestle in the nest
Of a heart that wants to bring it warm shelter
And feed it strength even when you have your own.

This is a very positive write. It leaves one with a sense of hope. I especially like your ending verse and the capitalization of "believe".
