Winged and Singing

A vision for the Turning Times, inspired by Gloria! The Cantantes del Lago Concert in Ajijic:

Our wings are rising, rising.
Women, men, and children—
I see the peoples of our planet
winged and singing, singing.
Multitudes in robes of radiance
we are singing songs of mercy,
of mercy for the earth.

Our wings in many colors!
Crimson as hibiscus blooming,
yellow as an child’s trust,
blue as glory in the morning,
and every hue between—
our wings are rising,
rising as we sing.

I hear our voices climbing,
winding grief and glory into one,
a golden strand of double helix,
good will spiraling with sorrow,
wrapping joy and human trouble—
We lift our human story
into song containing All.
