Clouds that make a mystical creature and castles above
So I can see
They come to me, those in need
I do not seek but can feel
Pain, need, rejection and sorrow. They have it all.
Blessed am I, an honored guest
If I can, but one to help. To guide. To light a path
If I can, but one assist
Contentment is mine and knowledge of what I am fulfilled
Power not mine, but mine to give
Strength to lend and words to cure
Peace and joy and harmony. Weapons and gifts.
Not mine, but mine to bestow if I can
To give, to be a vessel I am honored and more
To receive I care not. Nice yes, but not needed.
Reward someday
I care not when
Not about me but them
The little ones in need
To self I look.
Physician that cannot heal himself
The healer who can not lay hands on himself
The prophet who sees not his own morrow
The leader who looses himself
Eyes to see but for ones self feeling blind
Ears deafened to my own voice
Sensing, feeling, touching worlds and people not my own
Where am I when alone
Angel they call me, of the highest realm
Knowing what I do not know. Touching what is out of reach. Battling beings beyond my mortal existence.
Yet, I can not fly for myself
Soaring high and fast, the gates shut I can burst through for the heart of another. Flying above the darkness to help one in need. Through the fires and chasms to help the lost.
Yet, I can not fly for myself
An angel without wings

About this poem:
Just another time in the past, when it seems we can be there for anyone else and all of their needs. But when we look at ourselves, we seem lost.
"The Way of Peace" seems to be the other bookend of "An Angel without Wings" ForeverDestiny, you write your feelings well and show courage, great courage some would say, to put it "out there". Well done.
Thank you "agoodguy...". It's the only way I know to write no matter what it is. Reach deep, put it out there and see what happens. lol Most of the time, in all truth, I write once without looking back so as not to change the feeling of what I am writing.

Unusual Angel piece but very nice. I think they look like ordinary men.
