Era of Angels
Resurrecting the lost
Era of Angels
Playing god with
Grey veined rock
And maybe we
Make them better
If only to catch one
Via vision & stone
Sculpting their story
With gilded wing letters
Writing with chisels
Carving life into feathers
Faith filled hands
Creating angels
Reminding humanity
Of a time when legions flew
Embracing this world
With heavens design
Reminding humanity
To sculpt & find
Miracles

Author's Note
I was watching the show The Gilded Age on HBO and the opening credit sequence is breathtaking. It has blooming marble flowers towards the end. I was going to write this about marble flowers but looked at some marble art online and the Angels are so divine. I put one on as my avatar. Just wow!!
My mind went from there:)
Here is the opening credit if you're curious.

Hi Crimsin!
OMG ! This write would not leave me alone!!! I've been setting it aside to finish another time. But in the middle of the night - phrases kept popping in my mind. And I'd get up - write it down - went back to sleep.
Then I'd do it again and again.
My muse was working overtime on this.
Wouldn't it be cool if it was an angel!!
Had to make it perfect - you know - when it gives you that sunny feeling after you read it:)
Thank you lovely one:)
Glad you enjoyed this.

This is one of your best writes. So whatever muse was leaning on your shoulder while you slept, nab it and keep it close!
Your avatar is obviously a visual display to aid in the vision of this write, while the reader takes in your literary creation. A good pairing!
Not that we mind seeing your lovely face as an avatar. Shit, I meant to keep this a neutral comment!
Motivations to write come from all directions, huh. Mentioning the intro of that show does give the reader a channel to perhaps see your vision for themselves. Although we are always unique with our results. And this result of yours is an outstanding write, with excellent details sculpted by your words.
Yes, one of your best!
(PS...We are soon!)

Re: Re. Era of Angels
Hey baby:)
Ughh. I know I told you I was having trouble sleeping. Well It's out of the bag now. It was this write. It kept pestering me.
Get up - what are you doing laying down - yes - write that down - good girl - get up - no not yet - wake up!!
That avatar spoke to me mister! She is lovely.
Keeping things neutral is boring - butter rum me up baby. hehe
I had to say that!! LOL
I get motivated then start writing - and sometimes it heads in a
different direction. Story of a writer.
Yes - us soon!!!
Smooches and such, etc...etc...

Some Michelangelo, Leonardo type imagery. The sculpting of pieces were intense and with dedicated concentration even with a masters hands and tools. We have walked among the sons of man along with the titans, and we have watch those on wings as they have slept with the daughters of man seeing their beauty for what it is. There were traits passed down through the winged ones and into their offspring, and into the stone of their creations. Tight one lady

Hi Meme
It just grabbed me. That avatar!
There is so much power in visions. We can't help but bring it to life. It's the curse/gift of an artist. We are but a vessel by friend.
To help bring enlightenment and beauty back into the world. From our own words/hands. Our versions anyway:)
I'm so happy you enjoyed this Meme.
Gave me a smile amigo.

Hi Ahavati:)
I read somewhere - sculptors bond with the block before the even begin.
In a way it's their version of prophecy. Hearing it speak to them.
It grabbed me - so I wrote that form of art some love:)
Thank you for the RL!

The eloquence & elegance you display in this poem truly speaks of the concept of angels. The way you sculpted it...like carving marble is a true work of art. Brava!

Hi Willow:)
This write was pestering me amiga:) Couldn't sleep - phrases popping in my mind at all hours of the night. Getting up - writing it down. I'm glad you enjoyed it. That pic was like a lightning bolt.
I actually looked up the sculptor. Cicero D'Avila. When I found out he was Brazilian it all made sense. That huge iconic sculpture/statue of Jesus!! He didn't do that piece - but still - it must have been awesome motivation to do his own thing.
I'm thinking about sending this poem to him:)
As a thank you for the inspiration kind of thing. We'll see. LOL

I think this won me at the line “reminding humanity of a time when legions flew”. Sometimes angel poetry can come across as a touch cliché. But not this.
This reminds us that sometimes there is beauty in the savagery. And I can get behind that.

Hello Goya:)
I'm a huge fan of balance. The true beauty of honesty.
And it's not always pretty.
Angels can be menacing with their beliefs and devotion. I love adding some kind of edginess to beauty. I enjoy the unpredictability of it.
Thank you for the RL and stopping by.
I'm also a huge fan of your work so this is heartfelt:)

WOW! This is pretty far out, Adelphina but that's only because I am not on your level (in a good way!). In other words, I am very much beneath you, not worthy. Ok, enough Billy self-depreciation for now until you eclipse this; which won't be long, I'm sure! What I mean is, it's nice to be blown away sometimes. This write of yours felt delightfully trippy but I realise it runs far deeper.😉

Hey Mr. Trippy!! hahaha You're a trip!!
I just took down my Avatar. it had the Marble Sculpture of an angel.
Just was so impactful when I saw it.
I love the feeling of being thunderstruck - and it did the job. LOL
And no self-depreciation buddy. We all have our strengths here amigo:) And that includes you!
Thanks for the RL
Woop Woop!!

Well hey!
It was an awesome intro right!
Thank you for that.
I love writing from a place of creativity.
Painting someone's mind with words for paint. It's addicting!
Thanks for your snaps on this:)

Feels classic and epic. It's interesting that we can take inspiration from the least expected places and takes us on a journey of wonder and imagination.
Awesome work.

Hey there Wally!!
Thanks for that. This write didn't let me sleep. My mind kept turning.
Phrases coming out of nowhere. Had to get up and write it down before
it disappeared. When I'm in tune with something it's hard to turn off.
It bugs me. hahaha
Thanks for your awesome comment amigo:)
