Angels

Angels? Are they ornaments worn on our shoulders as symbols? Are they ten foot-tall guardians, guarding those with faith ? Are they messengers of God? Are they dense enough to cleanse an entire evil space? Whence I ponder angels… Akin to an innocent child Or likened to that of a sheep Inflected on as a snow-white turtledove… Was the most aesthetic angel the precursor for hell? Sunshine Williams
