Poem Commentary

   A piece that came by graces accord.

Angel Dance

A thousand angels dance and sing
upon an inky quilled feather's tip
Which ignites with inspiration.
The poet feverishely attemps to render
The voices that harken onto him.

The layers of his mortal autonomy
Are cast off like many useless garmets.
Verse pours forth as if a foutain
Has burst open from a sacred main.

He is washed in the cleansing waters,
Where the word flows from its true source,
Obtained from a place absent of utterance.
A baptism of enbolding ideas engulf him.

He writes with a new noble sense,
One of certainty, now united
To this creative wellspring.
The circuit contact stays eternaly open.
All he must do, is again, and again, lose himself
In exhultation, to recieve this boundless endowment.

swiftbird, Angels are a true inspiration, in this case to write something celestial. I admire the what the angels you speak of have influenced throughout each line of this poem. ginga

Thank you for your kind words of praise

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
