I rarely - if ever - write about angels, mainly due to lack of faith. Except when the right words come to me, like this one time.
It began with the faint echo of a well-known phrase...


Angel No More

I have walked through the valley
I've come home from a dream
hung my wings up on my wall

Am I still good?

Now you've brought me an offering
of yourself to my table
I'm not angel enough to resist it

Am I still deserving?

This evening I'm too tired
to draw conclusions
Instead I'll rest my guilty head

Will you be my judge?

Would you be my angel now?

i have written many a poem with religious tones though i am not religious really.
a sense of loneliness here within the piece. a good poem.
