Angels and Lyres

Gleaming, shining silver wire
Admiring skills of a crafted lyre
Music heard in all it's glory
Lured to listen to an angel story

Alas they yearn to hear the sound
Angel whispers intelligence bound
Verlaine v Grigori, Evangeline in a stir
Past softly strummed, an everlasting whir

Dark tones of fallen angels
Orphic mysteries portrayed
Performing wonderful music
Angelic life displayed

Poetic and mystic art
Magical ancient thriller
Angels and Lyres may be
An Angeology chiller.
