O To Use The Word Seraphic In A Sentence Or Solely On Its Own Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Of all words I think I would choose the word seraphic

on a day of gloom, in a trying moment, spurned

a cloud wrapped in silk an instance of light snows

seraphic, a knowing of something beyond all consolation

my soul is enamoured with...seraphic

only the one word uttered like a pearl

as in the old fairy tale when the lady of virtue

spoke only in pearls where the envious could

speak only in toads

a word breathing out serenity

for the child, sick at home, in a featherbed

but with a silver flame

a lasting word an everlasting word

shielding from danger

an exquisite word

dropped like an opal from Heaven

into dire distress.
