Do you believe in angels

. Do you believe in angels? And do they patiently wait for prayers to be called to help? Title: The Eternal Water Oaks A lone voice whispers The invisible Angel smiled at the rows of sorrowful patients Which lay before it on ward twenty-one of Saint Peter's Hospital In New Brunswick New Jersey As it then looked at just one particular sorry soul, whose body was now broken and bent For it was why it was summoned by heartfelt prayers Whispered by his family and wife to be heard For it to be dutifully sent The smile it carried wasn't a smile of ill judgement Or dismay, but of immense hope To change the sad vibrations at play For it knew the recently diagnosed patient would find the tenacity and strength to eventually cope Whether they recover or leave others to grieve For they all do It's a silent degree A line spoken by the Almighty What all things follow if they truly believe whatever it says All they or others have to do is call for them and pray To summon angels from The Great In-Between The bringers of such priceless white crisp envelopes to soothe the soul The invisible folk Who'll follow like betrothed guardian philanthropists Just huddled together Sleeping In the half-shade of the Great In-Between trees The Eternal Water Oaks Waiting for psychic calls to spring into action To fly to those caused by an exothermic reaction A chemical interaction followed by the evolution of heat With incredible satisfaction To find those whom they are called to greet Into the lonely, caressing arms of the swirling grey mists Which moved and flowed all around Like it had a phenomenal supernatural intelligence Hiding those sleeping By The Great Grey Oaks Angels Hidden By its holy smoke, which it uses to dutifully cloak Eternal friends Who know Living or dying isn't the end (C) Copyright John Duffy .
