Parody of Angels

She offered him a sticky apple from her velvet palm he a poor beggar on the street was living in the dim until her angel eyes found him looking , ...up his sleeping bag was soiled, his hair was matted wine eyes that said "I've been hungry far too long " footsteps passed, retrieved, passed again underneath a noisy bridge a blinding Light was seen a clap of thunder and soon the girl was gone . None were less for it none were better more, except the man who got up like old Lazarus to walk she offered him two chubby arms and a smile that broke the sun. He didn't see her until he looked, at her. Jan. 14, 2019

Pixie Dust, you and I are on such a similar wave length today, I had to smile really wide when I read this as I had finished a poem that has pretty much the same theme less than an hour ago. Beautifully done, Pixie. Maybe I will keep mine now.
