Angel Soul ~by Linda Willows

The angel soul finds
this the darkest twine;
an ivy grown from garden mine,
bleeding to blush
the white softness of Thine.
Tempered, stilled,
a grieving old vine.

Sweet were all callings,
Oh then Lord I wept.
I needed to feel
that by You I’d be kept.
Twining my heart is a blush
kept to bear
Keeping me from you,
it needs so to wear…

Angel soul, dark entwine,
how will you find
Lord, the Sweet,
Divine All,
Loves’ true Enshrine.

  1. The heart divine follows the threads woven over it back to source, back to true love, know it waits patiently, ever lighting the way,

  10. Linda, I always enjoy your posts. Your poetry beckons to me to pause and ponder. This piece was exceptional. I love the rhythm and the word choice, the beauty in its adornment and its brevity. The best poets say in as few words as possible what touches the deepest caverns of the soul. You are one such poet. :) Eric
