"I heard an angel speak last night and he said "write"
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I heard an angel speak and he said write
I wasn’t sure just what I heard
Did he utter just one word
I sat and pondered there throughout the night
The thought of course occurred
Did he really say a word
And just what did he mean when he said write
Did he mean get out my pen
Put down my thoughts right then
Or did he mean to point me to his right
For right there on the ground
Was a tombstone I now found
The name upon the tombstone was my own
I knelt there at his feet
And when our eyes did meet
I knew he meant it’s time that I atone
So still there on my knees
I asked the angel – please
To help me change my life that very night
This time I’m sure I heard
Again that single word
I heard an angel speak and he said “right”

Contest: Angels in Cemeteries - 7th place finish
Having been on the brink of death like a wretch so vile,
hope and light suddenly vanished;
and soon isolation and despair would have been mine....
if a caring angel had not appeared.
Thankful for having known a profound gratitude
that made me reach an unknown altitude;
before nothing reflected reality...
love didn't exist through memory.
Nobody noticed me being in a trance
as moods turned desperate and intense;
outside they were many smiling faces...
lovers and friends exchanging embraces.
Nothing feels greater than a profound gratitude;
that angel came down and changed my attitude
towards life and people who stared and wondered...
why I seemed so unwilling to share their world.
