When The Winds Of Heaven Dance Poem by Anji Carter

When the winds of Heaven dance
Can you recognize the rhythm
Is it something that you're sure
You've heard before?

When they glance across your cheek
Do you recognize their vision?
Did you see that look once
Gazing through some door?

Does Paradise exist
Within the essence of your being?
Have you felt the sun's rays
Kissing on your shores?

Have you chased the stars
With childish mirth
And spun each in its path?
Found rainbows in each teardrop
And muscles as you laughed?

Do the wings you have lie folded
Tightly strapped against your chest?
Have you overlooked their physics
Whilst you've worn them as a vest?

Or do you yearn to stretch them?
Unfolding to the sky.
Could you desire to share the winds of heaven
With your eyes?
Will you let them pass you by?
No I cannot!
No.
Not I.
