The Whole Angel Thing Part 2 of 2

My Angel, My Muse

 

Angel

 

Gentle Angel

Sister Muse

You watch over me

All the days of my life

 

I wonder if I deserve you

Your presence and your kindness

I wonder if you ever tire

Of protecting a not so innocent as me

 

I was not always so jaded

I did not always see the world

Through a looking glass

Most darkly

 

When I was young

I dedicated my life

And my sword of personal spirit

To the service of the Great Mother

 

I wonder if Mother Goddess knew

As I know now

That I would walk a life path

Along the edge of forest, dark and deep

 

 

 

Once I was too sophisticated

To care or believe in what I could not see

I drove you away and told you not to return

And you left

 

You left

And I was very much alone

I’m sorry, so sorry

What a fool I was

 

I called you again

Later in my life

I was not meant to be so lonely

So deeply troubled

 

I cried and I begged

I cried again

Till the well of tears ran dry

And you heard me

 

You returned so gently

Not swiftly at all

I wondered if you had heard my call

And then you touched me

 

I cried when you came back to me

You forgave me with a smile

And waited patiently

While I learned to forgive myself

 

I will call you beautiful

You came to me

Beyond

My most fervent hope

 

You came to me

On the other side

Of the Road to Damascus

Blind was I, six moons of more

 

First Gabriel came

And brought me good news

And then you came

Beautiful you

 

 

Gabriel told me

That Angels come as companions

Who know our darkest thoughts

And shower us with love

 

You come not because we deserve it

But because you are creatures of light and love

You do what you do

And wait to be invited into our lives

 

Gabriel said to me

Suspend you disbelief

Embrace what you know and ask

Ask and it will be freely given

 

I did ask and you did come

Did I remember to say

Thank you for being in my life

Thank you for your warm and loving presence

 

As I write this

I know that you can see and hear my words

What is written here

Comes from your guidance and my heart

 

Gabriel said there were many angels

Waiting for us to call

That not enough of us, these days

Remembered, cared or believed in your kind

 

And Belle you said this brought great pain

To fellow angels who wished

To love, to serve and protect our kind

Beyond our understanding

 

It is sometimes hard to imagine

Angels waiting in the winds

Hungry for our presence

Waiting to be asked

 

Simply to be asked

Because you cannot help

Until we call upon you

Such is the nature of Free Will

 

 

May the Divine Light of Your Kind

Shine upon our kind

Grant us courage to suspend our disbelief

And fill our hearts with peace.

[The Archangel Gabriel]

A really nice angel themed writing:

"Gabriel said to me
Suspend you disbelief
Embrace what you know and ask
Ask and it will be freely given"

He did tend to go ballistic about the disbelievers. :)

I think that I might like best the title: it is so nonchalant and charming.

Great write!
