Bluebirds Unscrolled Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Bluebirds unscrolled the fairytale proclamations
Holding the ribbons aloft
And we drifted with clouds as though
There were no cares no cares at all in the kingdoms
Of magenta and emerald of an unforeseen violet
Oh winds like a music from the North of anywhere
I have seen the angels at the four corners and
Said it is good oh my soul we should be here
Let us build a tabernacle to the pearl of this day
Never coming back
To the ungemmed stories
They told us when we were afraid
When we were sore afraid.
