portent wings
hold my heart
hands are human
but flesh-scape
carved, divine
the universe
within our eyes
we are all
creation,
seeded with
the grand design
no one religious
house stands
as toppled man
destroys them all
the spirit, coded
within our DNA
strands & numbers
math & science
calculations
of our modern delay
therein lies
the beauty–
beauty beyond eyes’ view
we are individuals
encoded each
strip your human
sight–look,
look
see, shh…
we are all one
gold,
blue,
black,
grey,
red … we all bleed
RED–
blue, beneath our veins
Poetry Month continues, and this is Day 23 of NaPoWriMo for me. Today’s prompt was to draw a card (from any deck: traditional, tarot, etc.) and free write about the card you selected to create a poem.
I chose a card from my angel deck, and the selection was “Archangel Gabriel.”
I also selected the particular artwork above to complement my poem today. Religious art is said to be coded with many symbols and signs throughout history. And the colors of the Italian palette are striking. Hope you enjoy!
30 poems in 30 days. Do you dabble in word play as well? Let’s create 30 in 30.
Love and Ink,
Grace
love this! “we are all one” indeed, we all ache and joy, bleed the same laments and smile the same elation.
Indeed we do! Thanks for the comment. Your words always hit home. x

“seeded with/the grand design” just leaped out at me. Lovely!
Aw, glad you liked it. Always lovely to know what speaks to someone.
