When The Angels Cry For Us
64What About Angels?
*** How do we look to outside observers as we live our lives, especially those of us who do not grow, re-think our approach and change from our experiences?
A lot of humanity spends a lot of time agonizing over "what other people think" about them. What if we are observed by what we cannot physically see yet sense on a deeper level?
What if angels are real and just exist in a veiled close dimension of time but not our exact time and space? How do you think they perceive our daily lives and choices?
Forever playing the "what if?" game and other virtually useless mind wanderings came the following poem concerning humanity's free will. How many people have you observed who, sadly, live like this?
Guardian Angel
When The Angels Cry For Us
When the light dims and cools to lunar blue
The Angels are crying with saddest sorrow
Unnoticed, standing off to the side of our lives
They watch and wait; they wait and watch: wondering
Patient upon free will acting, choosing, losing
A lonely soul, so weary of feeling alone, reaches out
This lonely soul rushes forward without consideration
Having chanced upon a mirrored self reflecting
The lonely soul quickly attaches its desire to the other
Wishing, hoping, nurturing fantasy into reality
That strangely never comes, breathes no life
Disillusionment arrives to that lonely soul
As reality too soon reveals the unwelcome sight of
Beauty turned inside out, surprised ugliness unexpected
A sudden gust of wind comes and the fantasy bursts
Like a mirror it lies upon the ground shattered
The pieces of glass like the relationship: sharp, ragged
Illusion and one-sided was the pairing
Two who could never become one whole
No relationship exists with only one engaged
Downcast, sad, unrepentant, refusing Truth
The lonely soul rushes on without consideration
Seeking another mirrored self reflecting
The Angels mourn for the lonely reaching soul
Who remains unseen, unloved, overlooked
Acting, choosing, losing, frantically re-cycled
When the light dims all around us
And the air cools to midnight lunar blue
The Angels are mourning love unfound, unfulfilled
The Angels wonder: Will the process cease and die?
Will the lonely soul ever quit chasing their reflection?

Thanks, Anthony! Do you write any poetry? Love to see it!
Denny, this is an interesting poem. I've never thought about writing a poem about an angel before, and you have come up with some great lines. BTW, have you tried highlighting your poem and using header4 in the pull-down format menu in edit mode? It helps to bunch the lines up better in poems. I had a lot of trouble with mine to begin with, and Paraglider suggested I try this and it worked!
Hi, Amanda, oooooh, thank you, fab artist to the rescue! It's been bugging the daylights out of me, will get right on it! You're a love!
*** literally 5 seconds later: wow! so easy! though it does change the font style but otherwise definitely a better idea for stanza control, thanks, Amazing Amanda! :)
Love this poem... it's beautiful. It seems like you spent quite some time thinking about each line because it flows really well.
Great insight! Angels are patiently waiting to be sent out on asignments for us through our prayers and our love for God. Thanks
Loved every minute of this--beautifully done.
Hi, foxility, thanks for stopping by! I usually do spend some "think time" on most of my writes as I find it's always good to go back for revision. A lot of people write a poem and think that's enough but if they would just sit on it for a day or two and re-phrase it in their head then they would realize it needed revision.
Most writers go thru a few drafts before finalizing their work, especially poetry. This one went thru about 8 revisions before I settled on this one. I have a poet friend who revises his work for years on end and each one is better than the last! I usually know when my writes are finally cooked and can't progress. :)
I see a lot of poems on the web that look like first draft but the author doesn't realize it. It's sad because a lot of people have so much to say and can say it well but won't be accepted for publishing because they don't realize to do more editing and revision.
There is something beautiful about living your life as a witness to others - even if an angel.
Hi, Missred, thanks for your visit! For me angels are very much a reality (check out my Dreaming Words poem) but I know for many others it is not yet a reality so I took the "what if?" posture so they could entertain the idea and wonder along with me without feeling pressured. Nice to see you are another angel friend!
Hi, CherylAnne, thank you for your lovely compliment and your visit!
BTW, everyone, I'm on Facebook too if you would like to join my ever-growing gang of friends. Lots of people I knew on CM have jumped over to Facebook and what fun it is to see them all as they are an active bunch! Classmates was an annoyingly slow site but Facebook is a zippy place! yay!
Denny, thank God us lonely souls have our angels to watch over and mourn for us!! I love the spirituality combined with reality in your poem. Simply beautiful. MM
Hi, Mighty Mom, thanks for visiting! When I wrote this poem it was after months of witnessing a friend on this decades long relationship hamster track of always trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Some things are just not a fit and no amount of fantasy writing in their head is going to change that.
It was painful to witness especially when trying to gently steer her into a more profitable direction to actually achieve what she so desperately desires. Unfortunately, it's more about changing others rather than growing the self first. So, wrote the poem in the hopes that others who are suffering the same as my friend might recognize themselves and realize to stop long enough to assess their situation and start with more positive course corrections - and take the time also to separate illusion from reality.
Angels love to rejoice with us too! They are loving spirits in action who go the distance for us, giving us the energy of awareness of how to help ourselves since rarely are they allowed to physically intervene and do things for us. People often block that subtle but intense energy and then wonder why they are depressed or agitated and confused, unable to solve their problems.
Thanks for the lovely compliment, MM! Do you also write poetry? I bet you have a lot in you as you were a DJ and certainly have the music in you. "Show me the poetry, girl!" :)
Thanks for the reminder regarding angels. It is very comforting. Great poetry as well!
Denny, this is such a beautiful poem about our angels, which sometimes are forgotten. In this poem you give them respect that is due.
Very nice from a very nice lady...you amaze me even more...G-Ma :O) Hugs & Peace...(am On facebook too Merle Ann Johnson)
Hi, perfectweight, thanks for stopping by for a visit, glad to meet you too! Thanks for the compliment - do you also write poetry? Love to see some of yours as I can tell you are a sensitive person and would have a deft touch in the poetry department!
Hey Denny,
This is a beautiful poem. You amaze me with your writing. I just love it.
Best Wishes
Kelly
Hi, Kelly, thanks for stopping by for a visit and thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed! "Got Kelly poetry?" Would like to read some of yours!
Hi, Denny,
What a beautiful poem! So beautiful and well said.
By the way, I believe with every fiber of me that angels ARE real. I don't believe we die and "become an angel," but rather that angels are special beings, a special specie who reside here and very close to God.
I collect angels: I also carry my angel worry stones with me! I'm sending you a link to photos of my front doorway where many of my angels live!!

Hi, laringo, it's interesting to note how much people think they are alone when nothing could be further from the truth. We are all connected thru a Divine connection whether we accept or access it or not. Angels are an interesting group of people, similar but not exactly the same as us and certainly have a tough assignment in assisting humanity!
Thank you for visiting me, come by any time!
