The Angels Dance
Speaking to not one
but the multitudes,
the prophet raised his head
And serving up his gratitude,
the starving and hungry
were given bread
Starting again
his eyes looked up,
and through a plain white cloth he bled
While standing in the same spot
his father had,
and repeating those words he said…
“Don’t worship me,
Become yourself,
Divinity, yours at hand
“Wash their feet
And free your mind,
Bring peace throughout the land
“Thank not one,
But all you meet
For a soul no longer wracked
“And with each new breath
The Angels dance
—salvation looking back”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
