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.

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

Your words are very true here. Belief is a powerful thing in face of hard times and trouble. It's easy to forget dreams when you're worrying about health or paying bills. This is a nicely written, peaceful reminder not to lose hope. Thank you for sharing this one :)

This is very spiritual, well wrought. I feel the aura of serenity ebbed in these wonderfully penned words.

"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."

~ A great depiction of the verse, "...for we walk by faith, not by sight." Nicely done.

winding around the hearts and souls of the readers. Your
words are calming....
