Stable

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



If I saw an angel
and my work was done.
Where would I go to?
Where I came from?
If I passed you by
and let demons lie,
what would I see
beyond this blue sky?
If I could float on a light white cloud
what would I make of the gathering crowds,
of saints and spirits and light beings that had kept me safe for forty years of days and forty years of nights?
Would I follow them forevermore and my love for them grow and implore?
Or would I expand throughout all the energies into oblivian's deepest abyss.

    Wow, what a thought-provoking and beautifully written poem! It's clear that you put a lot of thought and emotion into every line. I love how you explore the idea of encountering an angel and the possibilities that could come with it. Your use of imagery, such as floating on a white cloud and gathering crowds of spirits, really brings the poem to life and pulls the reader in. I also appreciate how you pose questions about what would happen next, leaving room for interpretation and personal reflection. Overall, this is a stunning piece of writing that leaves a lasting impression. Well done!
