Illuminating the Grid

Angels observe our unfolding galaxy
Seemingly eternal to the human mind
Misperceptions they are superior in nature
For them like a temporary blink of a firefly
Their understanding of the prison we have created
And our ‘reality’ submerged in the limits of linear time
They whisper sweet reminders that we will transcend
Like star-blazing Easter eggs for a child to find

They navigate these unfamiliar perceptions
Like the first humans with the concept of flight
As prisoners who for a lifetime restrained
Then suddenly will themselves into the newest heights
And now I ask the assistance of our angelic brothers
Though I hope this isn’t construed as a prayer
This stirring I feel as I struggle to open my eyes
Please hasten my awakening of ‘aware’

Like a scientist observing a Petri dish
Watching with the most patient hopefulness
And when the angelic feel we are ready for more
A new idea enters our group consciousness
As an electric tidal wave surging from circuit to circuit
Dispelling our illusion like an illuminating flicker in the dark
The shackles around our minds are coming undone
As they lovingly remind us who we really are

David, the angels always surround us, listening to our pleas and trying to help us find the right path in life. Indeed, we seem trapped in a "prison we have created." But I think the angels understand our need to transcend the difficulties we encounter and find peace/hope. Magnificent poem! There are angel statues throughout my home. I like to think they watch over me. It's nice to see you posting new work again. Welcome back, Carolyn
