Angel has been burned. Falling with smoking wings. Earthbound she is spurned. On and on till it stings.
Heaven forgets her face. As she crashes into ground. With outstretched arms knowing, She'll never be found.
And yet, No one cries for her. No one sees her pain. No one comes, To pull her out, No one extinguishes the flame. No one hears her pleas. Nothing to sustain. No one stops the screaming, Of an angels shame.
Burning feathers catch the breeze, Like fireflies from hell. Littered across the spot, Where an angel once fell.
The earth's flesh split, To receive the unearthly gift. Pulled deep into her bosom, In absence of heavenly lift.
And yet, No one cries for her. Only I see her pain. No one comes, To pull her out, No one extinguishes the flame. No one hears her pleas. No one to sustain. Nothing stops the screaming, Of an angels shame.
TURNIP: This is my favorite of all your poems!!! I love it! It is so beautifully, tragic. You are such a great writer. I dream of the day that I can learn to write half as well as you. Thanks for posting this one again. I enjoy it so. Take care. Bless You. Peace and Hugs from Angels!
