About the Songs of the Angelic Gaze Series

"Angel of Valentine Days & Nights" is part of the Songs of the Angelic Gaze Series of poems published in the books The Bridge of Silver Wings and The River of Winged Dreams. Like a number of the poems in the series, this one celebrates a treasured holiday, namely Valentine's Day, and all the aspects of love, joy, and ambiguity that can come with such events. In addition to its publication in two books, there is at least one video version of the poem, which is included as part of this lens.

Other video-poems from the Songs of the Angelic Gaze include: "Angel of Peace"; "Angel of Better Days to Days to Come"; and "Angel of Christmas Love Shining Bright."

"And we are put on earth a little space,
That we may learn to bear the beams of love."
--from William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience

ANGEL OF VALENTINE DAYS AND NIGHTS

"Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here."
-Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love

Now come the whispers
bearing bouquets of moonbeams
and sunlight tremblings.

Un-winged and naked,
sorrow surrenders its crown
to a throne called grace.

Two minds buried deep
in torment, lift up their heads
toward hills of faith.

In an age of bombs
guzzling blood, skylarks merge peace
with thought and action.

Songbirds of the grave
arise to the pulse and glow
of a new lyric.

Two frostbitten hearts
melt the ice binding their touch-
trust in life again.

Spiritual lights
and sensual flame brew sweet
mysterious heat.

One wing of midnight
and another of shy dawn
soar through twilight daze.

Two rivers splash joy
in burning communion with
their private delight.

The power to fly
crackles wild inside twin needs
to welcome love home.
