Lofty Wings

Lofty Wings

A Poem by Veronica Chandler
"

Soaring aloft from a different perspective this one tickled its way out to see the light of day.

"

                    

 Love is the strength and beauty

Beneath life’s lofty wings

 

Soar and glide amongst the pain so sweet

Unscathed or scorched by the sting

 

For even in the storm the heart of possibility lay

Waiting for an open eye to see

 

It’s ripe and ready to be plucked

Sweet with joy dripping down a chin

 

Around the bend and up the road

The choice does set one free

 

A flood dawning in a heart and mind

Loosening the ties that strap

 

Will light blind or warm a heart

To delicately draw on peace’s pipe

 

The truth plain to see

Beneath life’s lofty wings

Not precisely sure of the direction you meant for this, so will offer only a couple minor edits:
"Amongst" suggests a single thing within a group of things. I think "amidst" might be better, as it decribes a small thing within a much larger thing;
"Unscathed or scorched' needs to be either "Unscathed and unscorched", or, "Neither scathed nor scorched", in order to convey the meaning you're seeking here, and,
"peaces" needs an apostrophe: "peace's"
