Quietly,

so quietly they move
in special ways

bringing their
individually unique
hope and faith

   and beauty of grace

into a world
that desperately needs

their compassion
and touch

of hand to heart;

they are the light

lighting the way
for lost souls
struggling to find
their way home

they are the sun
shining on shoulders
now weary from
carrying the burdens
of passing time...

they take away the dark
and replace it with the dawn
rebirthing life
from stunted seeds

     but they too, bleed

when they see the tears
of those confused
and filled with fear

their whispers drift
upon the breeze

     and I believe
that they are sent
from the heavens above
to fill the world
with comfort,
   peace

         and love.

   Only, when God sends angels........

{dedicated to some very, very special
angels who have touched my life.}



I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee

When one has such a gentle spirit
[and sometimes even when you are spirited]
it is easy enough to draw special people
within your circle...

and your circle widens every day...

I have been thinking about angels lately...just watched The Prophecy last night

God only promises a safe landing, not a calm flight.

You know what I was thinking as I read this ?
Well, let me tell ya' ... I was reminded of my great grandmother, arms encircling me on the porch swing ... crooning her poetic thoughts to the night ... she would squeeze me and tell me to "Always be an angel ... for angels will flock to your side when needed ... just as you will be summoned to do when they have need."

Soooo, with that in mind ... "Let's flock !"

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Gentle Spirit, I can easily see why "special angels" are attracted to you. Every reading of your poetry, and I think I have read most all of your posts here, show your kindness and gentleness. I think the saying, " what goes in comes out" applies to you. You are a kind and gentle person and I have no doubt that you are yourself one of those "special angels". Best to you, marty

Ladies, you are all so very special
and while I am certain there have been many angels touch my life, I am certainly no angel myself!  

Thank you each, for your special touch.

I'm sure glad we have those angels in our lives!  I imagine they do bleed at times, but as angels, they pick themselves up and push forward.  So glad of it!
  
I really like the sensivity you show in your writing!

YOU are the angel, Donna
but I do understand where you
are coming from.

So many times, everyone here has gotten me through just one more day.
