Without Angels

The sky cried

Thunderstorms,

Its sadness

Far from fleeting.

It watched 

Its angels 

Fall and die 

Because 

People stopped believing. 

The clouds parted

To show 

The absence of a sun-

What good is light

When life 

Has lost its hope?

The lightning

Beat the ground

Until the whole world

Shook 

And lands scattered-

All because

The angels fell and died. 

Their wings 

Once shielded

The burned and bruised

Souls

That fill the earth;

Without the angels,

These people too

Will fall

And eventually die. 

Their halos 

Guided during the night

When secrecy was needed

To protect the weary

From the searching

Dark powers of hell;

Yet now without them,

The troubled will 

Soon be found

And broken

Into submission-

Torn apart until death

Will be 

Their heavy hearts.

The white robes

That covered the angels

Will be without purpose,

No longer the blanket

Of purity which covered

Those in need of love;

The matching slippers

On their pale feet

Will be forgotten,

No longer able to run

For those who are too weak.

The whole world 

Felt the lost-

The despair-

The pain

When all the angels

Were forgotten-

When people stopped believing.

Don’t let the angels die.

Okay, this reminded me of Peter Pan a bit. Like when you stop believing in faeries, one of them dies. It's a great idea for you to portray the same thing, except with angels. I, myself, will NEVER stop believin in angels (or faeries). I'm sure we won't ever have to worry about angel's dying, dear Sarah, since may people out in the world believe in them. Even though angel's are based around certain religions. I sometimes like to feel that they aren't just solidly built on those religions, that they're somehow, serperate...I'm not really sure if i'm making sense and if you're religious, I apologize if I've offended you in any way. But i guess i feel like I'm wrong when I say that. Angel's are apart of God.
Sometimes I'm kind of bad with my opinion of religious things, because I believe in many things and I'm not solidly commited or extremely religious. I believe in God, yet I also believe in gods and goddesses. Anyway, I hope i made some sense (I seem to always say that in your reviews...)
This poem, I have to say, is as beautiful as an angel :)
