The Weight of Angel Wings
By Rick Rucker


Whenever I see you,
Strange things happen, not a clue
About how they could be,
Far too magical to see!

When you walk down the street,
All the songbirds choose to tweet,
Could this be merely random,
Or a case of rabid fandom?

Could my judgment be that clouded,
As my heart is way too crowded,
With the exploits of your spirit
The darkness you traverse, though you don't fear it!

You're amazing, through and through,
Your tales of accomplishments are true
You told me secret things,
Like the weight of Angel's wings!

I'm sort of sorry that you're now mortal,
But now you can show us all The Portal
To a blessed, brighter day,
In your own inimitable way!

To those of us that could never fly,
Can see only the underside of the sky
The Laws of Reason are quite formal
All of these things seem quite normal.

To a being not often earthly bound
It must be torture on the ground.
Dealing with petty troubles
Most of which are less than bubbles

On the winds of Divine Reason
To Whom, all of time, is as a season.
Our skirmishes, quite base
Seem to jeopardize our race

We are rushing ever faster,
Toward what appears to be disaster,
Unless compassion is soon felt,
Our whole planet will we melt?

A burning question all this begs:
Don't we all have arms and legs,
“Us versus Them” seems to resonate in our brain
“Wipe out the others,”  a  far  too common refrain!

Could this be our human Fate
To crawl around, in fear and hate?
Will there be a time here soon,
When we won't fight over THE MOON?

Or some other place
That brings us all disgrace?
Wouldn't it be very nice
To recreate PARADISE?

To do it, we need a Vision True
Held by one just like you
That must be why you were sent here
To free us all from Hate and Fear!

Can you do it, despite the lack
Of your wings, will they grow back?
Or are you to be a GUIDE,
Not in the conflict, but on the side?

Please forgive the silly questions
If you would but give me suggestions
How to deal with one like you,
A Heavenly Wonder, an Angel true!
