The White Angel has lived for eons
in exile from Heaven, even from its grace

And in a flash of light, composed equally of natural and supernatural energies, the white bird was changed into the White Angel, and he ascended unaccompanied to the summons of the Highest Heaven, his suffering fulfilled, his radiance restored, his divine life resumed, as dawnlight reflected his white beauty. - - - - - -I believe in miracles and I love this poem of yours.
And miracle it is although the White Angel/white bird had to wait for eons for it to be fulfilled. I really enjoyed composing those lines you cited. They were NOT in my rough draft. They came to me as I was typing the poem at my PH site. That's either a happy coincidence or a small miracle!
Fascinating write. I had to look up the meaning of the white angel. I learned that the white angel light ray represents the purity and harmony that come from holiness and is part of the metaphysical system of angel colors based on seven different light rays.White clothes and wings indicate purity, peace, blessings, and rejuvenation. We may be at peace with ourselves and our life. I just loved the overall feeling that your write imparted on me. To rise above adversity, to become true to oneself and allow your spirit to shine. Thank you Daniel.
You put my meaning in a wonderful nutshell: to rise above adversity, be true to oneself, to let your spirit shine. Thanks for articulating this theme. BTW Thanks for your research into angel colors: I did not know this but I'm glad to learn it. I used the the image Balmont gave me who probably did know these mystical things. My idea came from the spectrum of light Isaac Newton discovered in which white is NOT a separate color but the presence of all colors simultaneously. That's science, not mysticism, but it sounds like magic, doesn't it?

The first I read this - the impression was so great that I like was embracing you for 3 hours. I was doing my job but in soul - I embraced like the cloud of sparkling yellow light. I was afraid of this. then I wrote you an answer as I felt and as it came in my mind. I don't want to go deep in it. But decided to tell you this seeing that it is important to you.
