The storm was raging higher The driving snow and sleet I spied a child Angel walking down the street Her wings were down and folded Her face was wet with tears Her shoulders seemed to carry the world and all it’s fears Tragically I watched her As she stumbled on her way No halo shone above her on her face so dank and grey She fell upon her knees At the house of wealth and fame She rapped upon the door but they thought It was a game She sat there on the veldt side Her head bowed ...in great despair Such a pitiful sight.... sitting crying there Her tears were big and flooding Her sobbing tortured cry That sound I’ll carry with me until the day I die Her little form was heaving With tears shed from the heart It was so sad and rending I felt my own tears start Together we were crying For the world so big gone wrong But there was no one listening there to hear our freedom song The wrong that she was feeling In her young and agile mind Everyone was missing although they were so kind Her thoughts were mad and jumbled Her head was spinning 'round She screamed her loudest scream but no one heard a sound The fallen Angel tears Began now to abate I put my arm around her to quell her sodden state She slipped her hand in mine ‘There’s no need to be alone’ Her tears no longer falling I took my Angel home Jon Mewett [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 05-10-2000).] |

Nice one Jon. Take care of her. May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out. Irish proverb. |

 Speechless...Did you by any chance read my mind..  J/J...Very good.. I like this a lot.. I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell. |

Gorgeous words. You have left me completely and utterly speechless. Gorgeous words. Life defines no more than what it is you ask for. April 20, 2000 Alicia A. Renzelman |

Jon, Beautiful poem. It was rather tragic, (wiping tear from eye). It was also some great stuff! |

OMG I have to say that was one of the BEST poems I have read in ages. I sat here with my roommate reading it and we both got tears in our eyes. It had so much passion in it. I currently write in the Dark Forum, but was looking into the others tonight. I am so glad I did or I would have missed this one. Keep up the GREAT work and I shall keep ckecking on your future poems.Peace Dark_kisses I do not love you for being perfect..... I love you for being perfect for me!! |
