FEATHERLESS ANGELS

An angel born of flesh and bone 
Left on Earth's face for wings to hone 
Of nature's goodness, we were born 
To bring others the light of morn 

The stain of original sin 
May leave some birth marks on our skin 
But deep within, a heart of gold 
Lurks to alter the mists of mold 

We are images of the great one 
Who gets to make some good things done 
Sometimes we drift, but in our core 
We have goodness to lay in store 

Even if wings could not be seen 
Our feet left marks on grounds they've been 
We are all angels, so divine 
In heaven's banquet, we'll soon dine

Can't believe it was NA poetry contest 
1st place

Dear R. B., your spiritual poem is as beautiful as it is inspiring! Potent and positive poetry "Of nature's goodness, we were born/ To bring others the light of morn" and "Sometimes we drift, but in our core/We have goodness to lay in store" - splendid! Congratulations for your wonderful win in Silent One's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you very much... I'm inclined to believe that angels are real... And they don't necessarily have wings...

This wasn't really a contest, but an opportunity to showcase an Na poem..
