Angel Wings Poem by Grant House

I see your angel wings
Poking out of your shirt
Made of gossamer spirit
Light and feathery
Stronger than steel
Folded against your back
So thin no one ever notices
Open, they cover the town
Translucent
Shadowless
When you let them out to fly
Each breath takes you miles in the direction you are going
I see your angel wings poking out a little this morning
Even the teeny tiny tip I see inspires hope
Might catalyze a revolution of compassion were others to get a glimpse
I know you are careful with how you employ your strengths
People can only take so much at a time
Unfurl your wings
Rainstorms line the horizon
Empathy droughts lift
Happiness rainbows cause childlike freedom thoughts to break out across the land
Wellbeing springs up everywhere like nourishing wheatgrass green and colorful wildflowers and deep forests and clear freshwater springs
Ya gotta watch out how you use those things!
The rest of us are grateful we live nearby this radiance
This kindness
I see your angel wings poking out of your shirt this morning a little bit
Who knows what today will bring
Your not such a well kept secret is safe with me
Like most chance encounters with divinity
I firmly believe
Only good can come of it!
