Angels

I wish that I could stand upon Time, like the Angels do, to be so lofty and full of light.
I envy their wings. I envy their peace.
I envy their time with God.

Though I don’t believe in any God, I understand what envy is like…. And it can be very frustrating at times…you desire to be someone else or to be in another more comforting place …. It’s a wish that we all have at some time or another…or we envy certain people for various reasons….

I hope he does exist and is the all-forgiving God as expressed in religions...

because so many of us make mistakes in our lives but in ways try so hard to make up for them...

a life of atonement...and maybe someday, wings.

You should write a part 2. Where the angels envy you.

That is a cool concept, but honestly, I don't see why they would.
