WE LIVED IN A BLIZZARD OF ANGELS

 

WE LIVED IN A BLIZZARD OF ANGELS

 

We lived in a blizzard of angels

All winter long

Thinking we were on our own

Suspecting nothing

Finding the oranges on sale

And simple bread with honey

It was all miracle and tea at dawn

Clouds massing over the seven coloured seas

Visited us in dreams

Larger than life

Their colours magnified beyond Time

In a resonance closer to music

Than music itself ever was

Cloud weather alone

Revealed to us Heaven and breathing

Tree music greening the wilderness

Hidden from view

We lived in a blizzard of angels

God knows how many derelict bridges we crossed

Stepping into the vacant air.

Our hearts suspended over Chaos

Lit like the clouds by impossible Grace.

Beautiful beyond Being.
