Winged

Heron’s wings span six-feet wide
great grey appendages in rhythmic flight

Dragonfly wings are camouflaged,
propel elongated bodies who hover in sight

Monarch’s wings are stained-glass delicate
with each flutter, sprinkle fantasies of delight

My wings, imaginary, give me faith and hope
mechanisms of spirituality, my soul’s fire ignite.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  8. I love watching winged creatures and enjoyed reading this piece. Favorite words are “great grey appendages”…
    And I have a lovely image in my mind with you with actual wings flying around with the herons and monarchs and dragonflys…maybe the image is a metaphor (?) for you giving wings to your words.
