Array ( [sid] => 134304 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Don’t listen to the angels [time] => 2007-05-12 11:04:30 [hometext] => This poem is about hope in the form of angels speaking. Hope is a good thing, but at times it makes us live in a dream world, and when this dream world is realised we fall. [bodytext] =>
Don’t listen to the angels
they only want to hurt you
to cause you pain and delay
again and again

Don’t listen to the angels
they speak things high and hopeful
but they are the ones
that daily betray us
with words so sweet and neat

They forgive us, but condemn us
and allow us to live in distant dreams
and all seems and seems and seems
and then we die
and then we sleep

Don’t listen to the angels
they are a limited dream
they seem to comfort
but they cannot feel or see

They are what I call
a delayed effect that seems suspect
they are a nightmare in three
in three dimensions it seems

Revolving in our space
in the space of our minds
and flowing in our hearts
to make us follow blind

To follow blind and see
What we forever want to see.

My dear friend it is not that the angels that should not be listened to...it is our quilt and belief that they are judging us that is confusing.
They seek not to judge...quilt is taught by mans understanding...not angels. So one must be careful who they listen to. A good piece which allowed me to speak for the angels.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
