Angel Tears @bydiana
My hand swept through the Heavens Playfully grasping for the Silken Stars When I touched upon an Angel's tears Bittersweet sadness I alone had stumbled on
I felt her pain and sorrow Deep inside my tranquil soul I held it for a moment Praying this empty feeling would quickly go
I wept beside her presence Fighting fears her mood provoked Wishing her a fountain Filled with the essence of Love and Hope
I have never been so shattered By any vision held within my eye This blessed creature bent and weeping Through this long and lonely night
Angel's don't cry in Heaven Nor drop tears from a darkened sky Angel's don't become listless Giving naught for their Angelic life
So I asked this perfect vision To come gently into my arms I promised to hold and give her comfort Listen to her woeful Angel songs Sing back to her sweet Children's lullabies With hopes of sweeping away her sadden frowns
Her sweet head upon my shoulder Wings laying on my lap I cradled her like a baby While she took a restful nap
I heard her shallow breathing And prayed with all my might This sadness that enveloped her Would disappear along with this dark set night
Then upon her gentle waking A single tear appeared It danced upon her lashes And quickly disappeared
Musical words followed in a rush A tale of sadness and of woe Of things that make an Angel cry And bring their spirits low
She spoke of losing Children To the streets and to the fights Drugs, aids and sexual abuse Things that quickly steal their spirits And end their precious lives
She spoke of losing faith in us As we changed our old God to new We now worship money, power, sex and fame Absolutely nothing tried and true
We turn our backs on the Elderly To busy to return their love They lived once only to feed and support us Now we simply have no time To give the ones who gave us life A moment of their own to be held in kind
I pleaded for her to listen As I calmly stated my Earthly case "Not all of humanity is soulless". I cried "Just the opposite is true" I told her of my Friendships My loves and of your loves too
Of waking to a sunrise Filled with the colors of Heaven bright and blue Children's laughter floating on the breeze A happy day spent with Family Laughing and singing praise for what we have And what we hope to be
Grandma baking cookies Grandpa fishing on the shore Watching my babies smiles And begging for a glimpse at plenty more
Kisses on the cheek Passion through the night The love that produces Children Families, Marriages, all we work hard towards
Being held through a mourning time Sadness so strong it drops us to our knees We pray to God to help us up So we may once again soar upon life's breeze
Help in remembering happy times Before Angels swept away A special love of ours to a finale resting place Hugs from friends who returned again from the time known as "it's been too long"
Smiles from a joke said by a cherished Friend Endless games played with a loyal pet Beholding our Children's eyes That glitter with simple love and happiness
I gave her all these examples Of the goodness that can be found in each one of us Precious moments the Angel's bring Sweet hopes of love Added aspects to our lives
Some of us cherish every step Our rugged path places in our way Count on Heaven's blessings To grace us with warmth and delight Waking with a vision every morn Of God's own Eternal Life
Please don't look down upon us Sweet Angel newly mine We are only human And make wrong choices all the time We are growing and learning Testing your Love and Patience along the way
We need you happily in our lives Guidance shining from above Even if you don't know it You are filling our hearts With your Teachings and Unconditional Love *bydiana2000
Dedicated to my friend Becky who's wicked laughter has a way of brightening even my worst days. The song is "Keeper of the Stars". Artwork by Danny Hahlbohm graces many of my pages. He was the very first Artist I found on the Internet and he will always be my favorite! I think him for the Inspirational Art that gives so many comfort on their road. Angel's I have met on my Path, may they know Peace.
