As Wings Fold [ ...just a repost ;) ]

by Clara Mae Gregory

the wings fold

and her gold

nimbus dulls

as she climbs

aloft her soft bed

of soporific manuscript

seductively scribed

with arduous marks

portentous and bold

waiting to be

edited then sold

bound in dreams

in past tense pages

another ego

is found

lost

in the

universe

Dedicated to all of us "would-be" writers who do not quite make it to the big time! LOL!!

Author's Note: Thanks, Q....I know a lot of great musicians who never make it big time but touch souls all the same....never stop writing your poetical heart out ...or sing it...or paint it....it's all the same to me

Thought provoking as always CM. I would think the wings spread as opposed to fold, though I see how fold works with the poem. Great ending: another ego is found lost in the universe
