Somebody held my hand, while my eyes were crying Somebody looked on me while my heart was sighing Somebody spoke to me with my spirit trying To make sense of this cruel and faithless world An angel came to me in the cold dark spaces An angel showed to me in all a million faces She wiped away all my sorrows traces I let her speak but I didn’t understand And now I’m left with all this raging sadness Left to swim in this torrent of madness Perhaps she’ll return on my day of gladness Return and open up my eyes ……..again And now my soul is searching… reaching Trying to memorise that angels teaching But I can’t find it in vengeful preaching Will not her love come back and rescue me My hope lies now with that angel returning So I can show to her all that I’m learning For her right now my heart is burning This yoke I’ll carry until she passes by So if you see an angel ….weeping It might just be when you are sleeping Tell to her about this truth I’m keeping Won’t you send her running back to me?

And now my soul is searching… reaching Trying to memorise that angels teaching But I can’t find it in vengeful preaching Will not her love come back and rescue me It helps to have someone there to lend on and support. The kindness and love your angel has shown will always remain though I hope she returns to you. lovely poem, really enjoyed reading. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

Thanx everybody. This poem was inspired by a stone carved plaque in a church in Dresden,Germany. Just a man kneeling reaching out to a female who is walking away. The message was a loss of faith conveyed in the single word 'Fallen' I always feel very 'inspired in churches particularly when I'm alone. Weird Hey. Jon |

Jon, Your poem breaths of need, of pain, of vision, and of extended hope through help above and beyond. As Long as you hold on to the last-- the others are bearable. A very good poem here in content & style, David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |

I love this poem. It's really moving. I hope that your angel sees it so that she will know how you feel. No angel worth her wings could ignore something this heartfelt and beautiful. ~ Krysondra ~ ~Angel of Illusion~ |
