Unrecognized Image
Laying silent, blinds down & drapes drawn
No glimpse of shadows or light.
Many similar nights pondering changes
Deliberating life’s strife & fright.
Wide-awake not yet drifted to sleep
An unidentified image appears.
No human traits, no expression, no face
Not one sound this image whispers.
A dark image draped in a hooded robe
Standing so tall, so vivid, and so bold.
Surrounded by a celestial glow
A refreshing calmness began to unfold.
Visions projected lamenting good tidings
My pain, suffering & fear lifting away.
This image now fading, so was my doubt
Delivered to renewed strength, I pray.
Bestowed with relentless courage to conquer
All that was recently thrust in my path.
That unrecognized angel paved my future
Alleviating all anger from life’s wrath.
