this sort of floated out of my head and onto the page.




Angel of the Rapture

She walks among the clouds
Sending rain to the earth below
She sings songs to the moon
And causes its face to glow
She whispers to the willows
To calm their weeping souls
Her voice is in the winds
To beckon wandering ghosts
She moves in misty memories
Stirring all spirits to arise
Her home is in the caverns
Of dreams of those who've died
She flies in shadows of yesterday
Leaving stardust upon the ground
Traveling through tomorrow
For she is Heaven bound
In light and love she gathers
The hearts of those who've past
She's the angel of the rapture
The one whose first and last
She was there in the beginning
And she will be there forever too
She's the guide for transition
And she's waiting now for you

You have created a wonderful being that has to be real because she became real with your words. She was painted on the page and came alive with each line as I read it with its wonderful songlike rhythm and lilt. This is an amazing piece.

Yes, this is poetry. I really like the images it gives me; vivid, but at the same time mysterious. Great poem.
