An Original Angel Poem

Patience, seemingly unending
Soothing and brave in your words and in your silence
Your presence, familiar and
comforting
Like the short lived sweet familiar scent of lilacs in May

The flutter of fragile wings
Stirs a delicate breeze
Touch, so deceptively light is nearly imperceptible
Penetrating more deeply than
any touch ever felt

Sorrowful little guardians of the soul

When there is no comfort to be had
Healing too sporadic at times
And in pain and meditation you pass
Quietly
Into the next moment
With a prayer of hope amidst despair
And that moment passes

And into another moment you travel
At some distant hour
Joy, Rapture
Earthly rhythm beating
In perfect time
Under an azure sky

Small moments of repair
Lessen the pain
It takes leave first in the eyes
And your face slowly softens
In that moment
Grace is upon you

Joyous kindly caretakers
Simply complex
Seeking for all
The beauty of sunrise in the darkness of night
And shooting stars in daylight

Bearer of Peace
Humanity, Harmony, Hope
