Up There

Up There

 

old sneakers in the attic

feet still in them

fossilized forevers

he walked a good life

wrote it all down

spilled it into locked boxes

 

his business

his life

reading his poems

is for the angels

 

they keep secrets

dear Jacob... we moved into a House where our Guardian Angels flutter and guide our days. There is a Healing in the Air where flowers dream. Amen, Pat

An obituary to a life well lived. I hope the angels understand his poems, if not people in life. Well written.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

They might, Andra, they might.
thank you,

I get the feeling this one is about someone well known who is also no longer with us. A name eludes me, though.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

not so-well known,
thank you, John,

I like the idea of angels keeping secrets for protection. Who knows the wonders in those locked boxes or the treasure therein.
Marvelous and impact-full.

You are welcome sir Jacob.

Thank God the angels keep our secrets. I think my angel can be seen on a regular basis scratching her head! ; )

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Mine is confiding in yours and they are both scratching their heads...they just don't get poets, do they?

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I don't think so!

[Stella Armour]

I am sure angels must love poetry and keep, the words safe for evermore ... maybe special angels watch over poets to protect their secrets from the stars who might be watching from afar ?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I like this philosophy....better if they could keep the words safe...
Thank you,

Here is the Jacob I love. A wonderful write that presents poetic images with great metaphor enigmatic puzzle with meaning and a lesson to be taught. A great read.
