Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Visionary Angels

Beneath the sheltering sky
Visionary angels 
        come and
  cleanse us of our 
sorrows
   The clouds form 
patterns above us
    Below the land is cold
Unreal city   
    you wait for us to 
come foward 
   Visionary angels take 
charge of the night 
   Brilliant stars
twinkling overhead 
    remain where they are 
Lead to the sparkling water 
   we must drink or perish 
Doesn't seem too likely 
   that our angels will 
fail us 
   In fact, we can rest easy 
Knowing that unseen powers 
   are watching over us

Andrea Dietrich November 6, 2010 at 2:44 PM Hmmm, how did I miss this one. It's a pleasure to read, as all your poems are and it is a very comforting one as well! Luv, Andrea

Ravindra K Kapoor October 28, 2010 at 8:02 AM Due to some internet problem, I could not complete the entire things. It is nice to know that your late father was a musician. The gift of music always is transferred from father to son or daughters and in your case; it is evident from your poem. It is sad to note that your father is no more now. God him peace wherever he is. Love and best wishes..Ravindra..Matthew Anish

Ravindra K Kapoor October 26, 2010 at 8:32 PM Beautiful expressions and imagination of the angels, who always watch and try, even to warn also in their own way of telling things. If only we can listen to it, many of our wrong decisions can be avoided. However, very few get the chance to listen the voices of angels my friend. You have sketched this lovely poem for those very few especially. Beautiful one and many thank for your precious comments on my Poem 'Future of Music'. Love and best wishes...Ravindra....Matthew Anish

Carolyn Devonshire October 25, 2010 at 2:11 PM I do believe there are angels watching over us always, Matthew. What a lovely portrait of these visionary influences that guide us to the light. Love, Carolyn

Audrey Haick October 25, 2010 at 12:03 PM Yes, as we are so grateful for them.. Quite recently, I missed a couple of steps going into my basement and I know I should have fallen and broken something, who knows what else but, but I didn't!!!! not even the palm of my hands that touched the wall was bruised..didn't even feel any pain! A grateful believer in God's angels.. Love, Audrey
