Poem Leading Upwards Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

if you find this poem there is no mistake

coincidence all the words that banish mystery

when you are led suddenly

into an upward gaze

where the angels weave anew

in cloudlike fits Jacob's brightest Ladder.

orif, and if the shoe fits the message turns to a crystal shoe

don't let it bother you. or to a rose to a wild rose

as in the poetry of Edward MacDowell.

suddenly on a well tuned piano you hear the grace notes

and leave all you have

in search of the one rose.
