The Truth of An Angel

An angel passed by me 
                     With a broken smile that I could see,
A tear fell from her eye,
                      A tear that made all my feelings die,

She screamed, facing the sky,
                               Her words almost made me cry,
She said that the world was a lie,
                               But she never  told me why,

She powerlessly fell down on the floor,
                                And I couldn't hear her voice anymore...
I looked at her bewildered and confused,
                                But at the same time I was amused

From the angel that feels the pain,
So now I know that I am not insane...

Everyone feels the pain in this life...even an angel

Oops! Farah, I almost forgot to congratulate you on having your very special poem featured this week. (I must have been distracted by the first ever End Line Word member contest (my first sponsored contest…See my blogs for information.) Anyway, I didn’t want the week to pass without congratulating you. So, Congratulations!!! I enjoyed your perspective on life and pain. Excellent writing. Smiles, Dane Ann
