was it just moments

dusk arising

Who knows whether
it was just moments
or long after
my sleepy head fell
to the comfort
of pillow softness.
It was as if she were flying
over the pages on which
the days of my life lay bare.
Graceful crystal wings
sparkled with motion
above the silken sheen
of her curvacious body.
Gently then she settled
and turned her huge
dome like eyes toward me.
With no sound or motion
clearly my mind receiving
the bright glow of spiritual love
formed words of instruction
upon my broadening smile
'The future is placed
in trusting your beliefs'.

    a hypnogogic glimpse of a lover past or ... maybe a visit from your muse ..

    whatever the inspiration, seriously enjoyed DA ...

    • dusk arising

      I think the inspiration is from one who truly loves me Neville, she is my guardian angel in who i do have great faith for she is an angel of the higher force often called god.

      Glad someone's having some curvacious fun - or curvaceous?! lol.

      • dusk arising

        You'd find true love from above if you met her Orchi.

        • orchidee

          Swoon! lol.

          Filled with wonder at your recorded visit of what sounds like the Muse my friend.......... a favourite read for my list again Dusk.

          • dusk arising

            My muse here is my guardian angel. I first became aware of her over 25 years ago whilst meditating. An event which changed my life. Faith in her and the higher power she represents/serves has remained with me. No need for finery of robes, gospels nor places of worship. Faith in her love asks for nothing.
            Thank you for your super comment and it pleases me very much that you have allowed this piece among your favourites.

            Beautiful !!!. A guardian angel. How lucky you are. May she keep on protecting you.

            • dusk arising

              I think we all have one Jayasree it's just that I have been lucky to feel my angels presence radiating at me occasionally. Thank you for commenting here today.

                What an experience! It brings to mind
                those reported incidents of spiritual visitations of the sick. When they happen, the ones experiencing it swear to the truth of it. Here it is recorded in a very powerful poem. She must have been the inspiration for such an outpouring. - Phil A.

                • dusk arising

                  When i first experienced her presence it was like there was a brilliant light radiating pure love toward me. That was the best feeling I have ever experienced. After falling out with what i had been taught was 'god' over my handicapped daughter, this radiant love experience lit me up spiritually. Not a thing I preach or wear on my sleeve but I am proud to acknowledge my new found faith of about 30 years longevity now.

                • Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose)

                  Lovely poem ) I truly believe in angels . I have heard the sound of angels before ... sounded like soft angelic singing .

                  • dusk arising

                    Thank you yellowrose. For me the experience was life changing as I have said in response to other comments above.

                    " 'The future is placed
                    in trusting your beliefs'. "
                    Such a wonderful truthful ending to your fantastic words d a.

                    yup, this is just a mere glimpse
                    of you in that right mindset
                    inking poetry, few can ever contemplate
                    let alone execute with such accomplished, ease..
                    nowhere near your best, but still
                    we're left celebrating your skill, dear poet
                    no matter what comes across
                    to enrage or distract in this chaotic life, always strive
                    or fight-back to this mindset of solace
                    where, quite simply
                    you're at your most poetic, best...!
                    just awesome Dusk
                    thank you!
