Steadfast
For my soul cherubs ceaselessly pray,
whilst from me, gratitude's seldom received.
Follow, I try, the "straight and narrow",
hope angelic guidance lends a helping hand.
Upon my death, I plead, deserved rest
achieved for steadfast, weary wings.

These photos are for Kim Klaussen's Texture Tuesday, this week's theme "something orange". I used her Dream It 2 Texture and in PhotoShop I used "multiply" for the portrait and "pin light" for the figure. The poem I reworked from a similar one I wrote over a year ago. The statues I photographed at Biltmore in May of 2011.

Plead deserved rest for steadfast...Weary wings
All of this is so.... perfect! :)
thank goodness for the angels that watch over us...for all the times we stumbled and they were needed...smiles...nice tight verse margaret...
Hope the cherubs continue to smile fondly upon you. (And let's not talk about what they do in the pool!)
You have an especially clean touch with statuary, Margaret--that young angel could appear simpering or merely blank, but your words and lens endow it with personality, something of innocence as well as a guardian power. Enjoyed it much.
These prayerful thoughts are beautifully stated, Margaret! And I love the photos too.
Very nicely done -- lovely thoughts and photos.
Beautiful poem and photos. k.

Gorgeous photos and great processing! Your words are very inspiring!
Wonderful combo of words and pictures !!!
very nice. Really like the unstated wordplay, between cherubs and Straight and narrow, where narrow can be also viewed as arrow, which goes nicely with straight, and ties back into the cherub. Very nice. Thanks
Beautiful poem and image.
Such a sweet expression and a lovely poem, Margaret. :)
Lovely images
Poem as well
I hope for that rest, but know too well for me, it isn't deserved.
I'm shootin for mercy as my last chance having knocked the straight n narrow into a puzzle with too many lost pieces.
