Angels On Duty

Did you hear your alarm this morning? Like ten thousands weights chained to our feet We drag ourselves to the edge of our shuffled bed White sheets reeking of sleep drape our legs, With our body bent in half, we devour heavy breaths of air Hoping this will replenish our tired spirit, the work of this day infects our mind Rocking ourselves will comfort our soul, Or so it seems... The morning bell tolls the Angels to their duty Wings wrapping souls is the first order of business Their mission: to strengthen mankind’s resolve to make today better than yesterday They wash our light in lullabies from the world beyond And we are unaware of our body, as though filled with air, being lifted to a soft cloud where whispers in our ear give us the secret to life each and every day We are reminded of our calling by the love we can’t see and as we reach to erase the noise of the morning clock, a smile of truth warms us in a freshly heated blanket For within our being shines the gift of knowledge, that, the world is our neighbor, and hope is but a prayer away
