The Angel Cries At Night

'The Angel Cries At Night''


I  heard an angel speak last night and he said ''write''
and bring enlightenment to  this dark place,
the hollowness that prevails
breaks my silence
I writhe in agony
to see the despicable dead 
restless and infuriated
daunted by their  formidable grave
they long for salvation...
My stagnated beauty is futile...
Alas ! I cannot restore their lives..
the dead leaves pay their homage
where the ALIVE one fails to visit...

I would love to hear the symbolic meaning to this.....It was less direct and mysterious in nature. May your beauty grow forever....producing more precious life.
