Steffi Webster - Earth Angel

wind caressing sun kissed feathers,
Air fresh in rough beak,
Talons clutch at rugged crag,
Earth angel takes to flight,
Gusty wind whips the down,
But wings reach, raise, contain,
Guidance up to icy blue,
Higher flight, wings down low,
Soar and glide with angel's pride,
Celestial soarer hovers on high,
Then wings fly up, raise power,
Plummet to grace earth's fire.
