Surrendering to Angels

By Leith Plunkett


An angel came as a single drop of rain
Seduction to parched lips

A breeze of silken fingers


When diction falters perfection
and emotion consumes reason

Words are no longer adequate
.
.
Just breathe deep
and
surrender

    Perfectly written, just the right length and not one wasted word here.

    Oh, may I ask about the footnote? I'm curious (translation-nosy)--if it's not to personal to share, I'd enjoy knowing how our Ms. Mars contributed to the creation of this work of art.

    I usually write of losing love and have stuggled to do so at late. Mars shared some advice about imbracing what I do have now I am in a more possitive frame of mind in my life. It really helped unlock/broaden my thoughts. I was forcing feelings that were not there.

    Hmmm--not writing huh?--Methinks you're were just holding out!--*lol*--just kidding. However, for someone who wasn't writing, you sure the hell are now. This is perfection with succinct imagery, breathtaking word choices and that ending....well...it simply says it all, doesn't it?
