The Cloister in the World

~ Cheryl Anne 
I am the Angelic Watcher,
and the tree from which
behind she peers.

I am the Ecstatic Virgin,
and the grass she waters
with her tears.

I am the Euphoric Dancer,
and the wind which blows
away her fears.

~Cheryl Anne  
Inspired by the painting, “The Cloister or the World?” by Arthur Hacker, 1896

    Such beauty in this reflection from your own “cloister” where such beautiful and heartfelt prayers and writings come forth.  I am so grateful for your prayers and your presence with Denise and with me as we journey through the ups and downs of life ❤️🌹
