Darker Angel

A conversation with ends unexpectedly A cloud passing overhead The Darker Angel leaves his mark on the good citizens In a cemetery a small plant reaches upward for life A heliotrope - always seeking sunlight The remains of a life beneath The Darker Angel has had his say A small boat in a big lake the weather turns gloomy The Darker Angel sees his chance the boat is rocked by the storm two go under never to return Count your blessings while ye may The Darker Angel is waiting for you and me His burning eyes cut through all pretense Beware!

A really great write here my friend but I must say the Angel of Death doesn't hit me that way. I see him as a guide sent by God at the hour of our death to lead us home. If he doesn't come for us then we have something to worry about because someone else will and we really don't want to meet him. God Bless, JB
