Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Fallen Angel

Seems that the 
           dark side 
      of life 
Always finds us
     Doesn't matter 
if you 
    are a lucky man
with everything falling into 
place
   Eventually you will 
pass into Shadowland
   fallen angels that
we are 
       still counting on our 
luck to see us through
    We are living 
on borrowed time
Fallen angels that we are 
We will eventually 
      find peace
  But it will be a 
long and difficult road
      "Fallen Angels"

Vince Suzadail Jr. June 18, 2009 at 1:02 PM It's a lot tougher making good choices when things are right. Seems most turn to God when they are in need only. I for one find my faith stronger when I'm down. I'm hoping I'll see a lot more mercy than justice. God Bless. Vince

Sharon Winter June 10, 2009 at 5:37 AM How true Matthew and so beautifully written. Yes, no matter who we are, we eventually do pass through 'Shadowland', some sooner than others. Hope it all makes sense one day. Love this write. Love, Shar

Carolyn Devonshire June 9, 2009 at 3:40 PM Yes, I do believe we pass through a "Shadowland" in this life -- times when nothing seems to be going right. Very interesting concept of relating man to fallen angels. Nice work, Matthew! And enjoy your trip to Florida. We have twisters here too. Some are spun off by tornados. August is the peak of hurricane season! Love, Carolyn
