Salome Dove Poet Free verse

Angels don't cry (Engel weinen nicht)

Remember, I am always
There for you...
And in thoughts we are
Very close...
Don't cry anymore, it will pass. 
Because we will meet again...
Oh please, just laugh only once more
So shining like ...
The starlight...
Because everyone knows...

             Angels
                      Don't 
                              Cry.

Alison A Smith September 8, 2026 at 4:51 AM A tender free-verse consolation poem, its pauses and trailing ellipses creating the feeling of a softly spoken promise across absence. The gradually stepped final image is especially moving: “Angels / Don’t / Cry” falls like a visual echo, giving the closing reassurance both delicacy and emotional weight.
