I held a part of Heaven in my hand today
Because I climbed a shining hill
(You of the valley will not understand
But if you've lived on mountain-tops you will)
No mortal stature ever reached so high
But I was all there is of earth and space
Because I climbed a hill and touched the sky
And felt its blueness on my lifted face
I was a God-child with new wings to wear
New wings so wide their feathers brushed the dawn
They silvered all of everything: the air
I breathed ... the living ground I stood upon
How dark the world! How dull all worldly things!
Today I wore an angel's lilting wings!
Beautiful, this reminds me of the allure of accomplishment. Or the beauty of *raising above it all*...
ReplyDeleteYour written words is always enchanting.;)
Have a lovely day dear Margie,

Raising above it all
ReplyDeletemotivating & magic, makes me humble too.
Margie, I am glad you are happy and healthy again. Had missed you around
Margie, this is extremely beautiful~take care.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful Margie. It reminds me of the time I stood on top of a mesa with the clouds flowing all around and about me and shared the feeling of flight with a neighboring winged one who was sailing on the updraft just a few feet away.
ReplyDeleteGoodlife
Robby
That's because you are an angel!
ReplyDeleteLovely reaching!

ReplyDeleteNothing compares when you are one with nature. Material things are nothing at all, don't know why some people put them before people!

ReplyDeleteMargie, I could almost see the blue sky and feel the sun's warmth on my face on top of that hill. I love the mountains so this poem felt really special to me. Another beautiful poem my friend....:-) Hugs
ReplyDeletei don't often like rhyming poems but i enjoyed this one especially the angels lilting wings :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I have ever felt like that. This is really beautiful. This is something I want to know and feel and will endeavor to reach it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the expression "God-child"! Good stuff, Margie!
ReplyDeleteI wanna have some wings too and this is truly inspiring :D
ReplyDeleteVery nice collection of poems, as always Margie :)
ReplyDeleteHaving lived on top of a hill and also near a sea, i know how its can be so fulfilling to be one with nature...
But wordly things have never been dull...always interesting :)
But as Lorraine too notes...its only with freedom from all things wordly, love and peace reigns, i think

devika

ReplyDeleteI think people needed to be reminded that we have been given our heaven here on earth and we choose to make it hell or not.
ReplyDeleteNice little reminder that heaven is all around us.
Nice Margie
