Illuminating the Grid

Angels observe our unfolding galaxy Seemingly eternal to the human mind Misperceptions they are superior in nature For them like a temporary blink of a firefly Their understanding of the prison we have created And our ‘reality’ submerged in the limits of linear time They whisper sweet reminders that we will transcend Like star-blazing Easter eggs for a child to find They navigate these unfamiliar perceptions Like the first humans with the concept of flight As prisoners who for a lifetime restrained Then suddenly will themselves into the newest heights And now I ask the assistance of our angelic brothers Though I hope this isn’t construed as a prayer This stirring I feel as I struggle to open my eyes Please hasten my awakening of ‘aware’ Like a scientist observing a Petri dish Watching with the most patient hopefulness And when the angelic feel we are ready for more A new idea enters our group consciousness As an electric tidal wave surging from circuit to circuit Dispelling our illusion like an illuminating flicker in the dark The shackles around our minds are coming undone As they lovingly remind us who we really are

David, the angels always surround us, listening to our pleas and trying to help us find the right path in life. Indeed, we seem trapped in a "prison we have created." But I think the angels understand our need to transcend the difficulties we encounter and find peace/hope. Magnificent poem! There are angel statues throughout my home. I like to think they watch over me. It's nice to see you posting new work again. Welcome back, Carolyn
