Author’s Notes: "What Our Angels on High Meant" is an Unrhymed Quintain (or Pentastich) poem I originally finished on February 11, 2015 while I was finalizing my first book of poetry for publication. With this write, I delved into the inner-related ethereal and metaphysical worlds of the "Heart and Soul" briefly to surmise with some degree of surety essentially "what our angels on high meant" regarding Man's approach and purpose to his fate and destiny as he aspires one day to meet God. I centered my argument in this poem more on the course (and its metaphysical meaning) that each of us aspires to take one day in fulfilling our sacred (or god-given) fate and destiny. The unwritten deeper meaning or step beyond all of this is when each of us cross over into the ethereal world beyond the writ of our mortal life to finally meet God himself (or maybe God herself). None of us will know this until each of us arrive there. A concept quite interesting to contemplate from our human perspective. (Gary Bateman - April 25, 2015) (Unrhymed Quintain or Pentastich)
