Heaven Shunned

Slender beams of 
accusation enter
this darkened place 
as I kneel,
always lost, 
always forlorn,
frozen here,
waiting.

Angelic forms wrought 
in panes of glass loom as
dust dances in the air,
forming an image in my mind,
sparing not my 
naked outstretched arms.

Realization dawning on my face.

I raise my head, 
now kneeling before
this airy salvation.
