    Angels
    A faint touch on a heavy shoulder,
    The pale light of diminished eyes.
    Wings you only feel the breath of,
    Before you close your eyes for good.
    Keep us in the dark for years.
    Hide in the light at the end of the
    Metaphorical tunnel.
    Never surrender, never fall.
    Never say never,
    Dare I say to breathe again,
    When it hurts too much to be real?
    The touch of angels, they say.
    A bit touched is what they think
    I believed in angels...
    Until everything was ripped away from me,
    And I was left to feel this empty again.

    Kaitlin, it's when you think the angels aren't with you .. this is when they carry you in your darkest hour. Great write! SBear :/

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
