Twirling in the Wind

Twirling in the Wind

In another nebula,
showered by crystal cascades,
steps were elegantly
touching the ground,
in a cadence of painful sighs,
twirling in the wind,
seeking for oblivion.
The lady there cared not
for frost-laden breeze;
jealously cooled her wrinkles,
nor for shadows of curiosity
cast on watchful eyes,
to heal her abrasions
and calm the weary soul;
she proceeded with the ball
embracing every fallen hope,
set an essence of beauty
enlivened by her own art.

    You linked the summary for a reason, is the persona depicted in this poem the angel that appears in the book, or based off her?

    I took the 'twirling in the wind' verse as the persona going wherever she is needed, and a nod at the height-based phobias the the protagonist and his mother and brother face.

    I know this is a tangent, but after reading the summary, I wonder if the angel might be him (or a loved one in a past life), since he wasn't afraid of heights until he came across the George Washington Bridge which is one of the many infamous spots to commit suicide in New York, and it might be him or a loved one, trying to intervene since the phobia might have potentially cost him his life.

    Sorry, back to the poem, it's a truly enchanting piece, and to echo what was previously said, it really is an elegant piece.

    Well done!

    As Ingrid says, this is a beautiful piece, penned with the kind of elegance I envy in other poets. Well written with a lovely flow.
    All the best, Samia,
