Maecenas

We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh; few are angels - William Shakespeare.

Angels do visit our dwells, vext squall of rue,
to aid the divested, those in debt of solace,
See us through discord and effect smiles anew.

Sprites abide, till their charge out of crisis,
and can stand on its own once more, and floruit.
Their bestowals last aeons and are endless.

Saviors hap stilly, toil, sue no benefit.
Forbye joy of service, move to the next skint.
Angels are amidst us; artless,inconspicuously inhabit.

Abstract of angels: ruthful, noble, lucent.
In many a form nonpareil exist, for the unable as allies,
Lift unjust off throe, on world make an imprint.

Unfold aegis for an inflicted, you realise
reflection of an angel in the legatee's eyes.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A sonnet writ in Roman legend of one who supported the arts at a time of such conflict and duplicity. Indeed to forgo power but still a wealthy, generous and enlightened patron of the arts.

Thank you John, for your kind words.

I am so sorry (i had to clean out my friends list so i can more easily keep track of what I'm missing) holy smokes!!!!!!!!!! Buzz buzz buzz my brain with those words of yours. I love Mrudula language.... they are all around and yes disguised as many things... you just have to look the right way to find them my dear:) Me thinks you are a legatee of the most lovely grace.

i find it comfortless to clean out or rearrange friends' list to eliminate some, after accepting their request for friendship. Bunny. True friends always find their way to appreciate our words often, and they are forever present in our thoughts. Thank you my true beautiful friend for your inspiring words.

Am i right in thinking people talk of little feathers dropping beside them.
This is a loved one dropping by to say hello.
Quite like that. Brings loved ones back to life.

I like that image you described very much, Paul. How wonderful it will be, just to know they are fine and still with us even after that final goodbyes.

[Chris Shaw]

There are many angels Mrudula on this earth, who walk amid us sprinkling their compassion and love where it is needed most. Sadly we hear too much about the sinners and not enough about the angels who give of themselves devotedly. I like where your eloquent lines took me.

I do believe that this earth still has hope and a good place to be because of the angels among us. Thank you for your wise and wonderful comments, Chris.

An intellectually stimulating poem from one who herself knows more than just a thing or two about the arts and poetry.....

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you dear friend, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

[Neville]

I hope we both do :)
