Angels of Night Lights

Angels of Night Lights David J Walker If they carried messages of hope I could understand But my father simply watches As my brothers sit at distant Campfires warming their transparent souls All at the expense of my restless dreams No one ever speaking although I can Hear them singing songs That I didn’t know they knew My mother never frowns as Her eyes smile and her lips Silently whisper secrets she could Have told me before she walked Into the night as I watched Some sleepers are comforted by Angels of lights Plugged into empty sockets on The wall
