For The Fallen Angel…..jwesley

I’ve seen angels
with hole worn wings
seen devils
with shiny things
heard of a man who feared
he fell from grace
has the weight of salt
on his tear stained face
mistakes, maybe
he made a few
division caused
from a different view
remember this
through your strife
if someone truly loves you
…they love you for life

"Pour yourself thick, when it is you, that you spread."

Yes, for life!  Love isn't a faucet to be turned on and off,
even if the hot water runs cold at times.  Great poem!

But die with all their music in them"
