LOOKING FOR ANGELS

We want reason for life, why?

Our faces down,
Anxiety- a crown,
A glistening on our scalps

Pursuing purpose,
We count no loss
In employing misleading maps

Sanity's sought in morphine,
Our wants define our doctrine
Trying to fill up our empty gaps

Illumination's shroud
Makes us so proud
As we search for life's reason

Our souls burn in us
Our tongues- wild grass
Locking us in entangled prison

Illusion's our shrine,
Stuck in cloud nine,
We are looking for angels...

Great description and powerful statements made the reader think and raised new questions. We need help on the road of living. We do need Angels and kind people to give us direction. Thank you for the amazing poetry.

We're nearly always looking for answers, for an ultimate meaning to life, in the wrong places...
This is a great piece. I love how you have described things in this and the images they painted...
I enjoyed reading this. Great poem.

Insights to a self... seems each person has their own understanding of your angels.

Truly amazing words set this blazing with potential. I was enchanted and engaged from the start.

Our tongues - wild grass

Love those 2 lines....I'm thinking I'm going to mow my wild grass and see if that will release me from my prison....:)

Beautiful as always...just like your mind.

I agree we always look But not often in the right place
As I say a smart man learns from his mistakes But a wise man will learn from yours

As human beings we search for the meaning of life mostly in wrong places.
