Upon angel wings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon angel wings,

you carry me.

my burdens,

you embrace.

Life,

lived in the shadows of others.

pain there in my mind,

you saw.

gently,

holding me.

caring while the rest looked away.

You'r strong hold,

steered me through the storm.

being my eyes,

when I was blind.

stubborn,

indeed i had been.

Yet,

you never strayed,

always knowing what was right.

Upon angel wings,

I learned to see.

the world changing,

shaping into something new.

Light now shines,

giving me warmth.

As you try to walk away,

tears streaking down your face.

Strength you gave,

I now will return.

For while you gave,

you lost so much more.

Sight gained,

showing me your pain.

truth comes out,

my time has come.

you weaken,

as the days wear on.

my heart trembles,

but hands stay strong.

swiftly it comes,

rain pours down.

 one tender glance ,

tears fall freely.

night,

of great sadness.

to say goodbye,

and fly upon angel wings one final time.

Beautiful! ~ This has such a calming feel to it as i read... peace comes to mind. And you make me remember how i often think of death. THis is comforting and i love it. Death is nothing to be afraid of... we shall all reach there but we mustn't fear the unknown.. ~
Such strength this has! I'm glad. Thank you!

It is beautiful poem with a colourful imagination

[Jordan A. Wilson]

simply captivating

[Maan]

The idea seems all fantasized, seems all right if you look that way, angels and everything but quite irritating if you see from the eyes of truth. But overall words you used and emotions you tried to express were pretty good. :) Thanks for sharing.

"Life lived in the shadows of others" Wow. It's a beautiful write :))

Very emotional. I love how first you need them but then you return the favor by being strong for them during the time they are weak!

3rd stanza it is spelled You're, just sayin.
But all in all, Great poem, and awesome read.

Your poem is an emotional statement about facing death, I think. I'm not sure who the 'you' is here. I guess it could be a parent, friend or even God. All the very short lines are interesting, providing the reader with nibbles of thought. Interesting.
