Featherless Angels

FEATHERLESS ANGELS

The images were created by evocative art
Angels with feathered wings, all in white
Some with swords at Eden Garden’s gate
But their main duty was to communicate
Some had fallen, at least in God’s sight
But with evil direction, played their part

If one good angel were now to appear
Unlikely to be feathered, or have wings
I am sure that one would be able to tell
A message to share and all fears to quell
Maybe it is hope that the future brings
But an angelic smile, when the end is near

In an angry world, some people are good
By others, deemed to be angels in disguise
No feathers nor wings, at least to be seen
But such a presence as there’s ever been
And from their lips, a blessing multiplies
Spreading more love, if they just could

"from their lips, a blessing multiplies Spreading more love" - True concepts of angels are beautifully brought about. Great work!
