Gabriel

A poem about the famous Archangel, protecting a little girl.

When spring lurks behind the upcoming leafs

Water unfreezes and birds start to sing their melodies

Couples wander everywhere, expressing a passionate love

And then there is this twelve-year old, wandering alone

Her skin is pale and her hair black as coal

The trail behind her marks loneliness and misery

Clamping onto the few white feathers in her tiny hand

Wanting to keep Gabriel near her slender shell and broken heart

Without a single word

The angel went to pray

Even though she heard

Everything he had to say

After time winter returned and everything turned gray

The white feathers had been left in front of mother's grave

The trail still dark when Gabriel returned to this wandering soul

Walking back from where she came so long ago

Their eyes met filled with love and affection

Something the girl could have only dreamed of

With this guardian angel by her side she felt it

Craving for acceptance, hungry for attention

Through communication

Silent as the cries of men

Complete adoration

Where a new life began
