Angel's Delusions Flutterby

This is an old one I wrote a while back to help me cope with my sister's suicide.

What is an angel but a messenger of hope      

a promise that our loved ones are at peace 

they live on through our remembrances of love 

memories of times together we cherish forever 

Sometimes we have an endearing thought or evocative feeling 

that's hauntingly  a tap on the shoulder reminding us of their lives 

never gone forever or forgotten, we hold them dear in our hearts 

giving life back to their souls as they await a treasured reunion

 

Maybe I don't really believe in blue soul'd butterflies or angels rebirth 

clearly in my mind's eye it still brings me comfort to ponder this fantasia 

watching wings of unrestricted independence floating by whimsically  

reflections of their majestic flight to eternal freedom and peaceful serenity

I believe they are not gone...just in another room...
The angels are beautiful and I can picture the gauzy gossamer blue wings with faces of our loved ones. Always there to help when we need them with a thought or an otherworldly touch...
Just to share with you Frieda...My sis is my lost n found angel. Whenever I lose something..I request her to help me find it and it maraculously turns out somewhere! I know I'm being silly but It sort of brings me comfort and a feeling of being close to her...
100/100 for the beauty I could picture reading the poem and thanks for sharing!

That brings me much comfort Divya, I hear my sister's voice in my head still, she used to drag my name out in a particular manner. Yes, she still lives within me, every moment of every day. Thank you so much for your kindness and wonderful review. I'm sorry for your loss my dear friend.

I lost three brothers to suicide. I join a war to escape their memory. The painting is beautiful. I pray my brothers found a better place. Here on Earth was too hard for them. Thank you for sharing the poem.

none is away of pain..im dipped into it..if you read mine(lonely lost kid)or (mr fate) or or or..you would feel the sea of pain im in..

i am so sorry for your loss. this poem is a beautiful tribute to her...and that thought of what is on the other side...will there be a reuniting? is she now an Angel? and will there be some closure...some conversation to find an answer as to why? a reason?

she is definitely a Blue Angel.

Thanks jacob, I do think of her as a blue butterfly fluttering by me, she loved butterflies, she had them released when she got married, when we were at the church on that final day, a gorgeous butterfly flew between me and my brother on the church steps....it lingered for what seemed like forever, and we just looked at each other in awe, thinking, hoping.

There is a gentle poignancy about this that caught my emotions... and the uncertainty and blissful thinking sustains the flow of ideas and the need for comfort

[Frieda P]

Thank you Jibey, that's a beautiful review, much appreciated.
