How To Play With An Angel Poem by Lois Read

(first two lines are from Rumi)

Your poems and your teaching stories
are nothing but daydreams

daydreams, the scripts followed by angels
weaving their way through the world

when an angel taps you on the shoulder
she is hearing your dream

she is choosing you
to play on her team

take her hand and take your pen
and floata through fields of flowers
tiny white flowers from wedding bouquets

this is the way to play with an angel
to write your way to a star.
