Grooming


it's like getting dressed for a new journey
there is an angel beside me
grooming my wings
she knows I'm excited
she knows the old layers have been shed
shrivelled in the garden
like a snake skin
fertilising new souls
as I move on without knowing
without needing to know
so new is this to me
as I smile at her beside me
grooming

Very original and nicely written. I like your first line the best ... it drew me in and created a need to know where the journey would take us.

Oh, I love this. "An angel beside me, grooming my wings..." The feeling, the whole scene is just exquisite xx
