Angel

The angel soared above the sky

Waiting for God's reward.

Yet, 

He never came.

The angel waited and waited

Until its loneliness swallowed his heart.

The loneliness consumed his soul, his majestic grace.

The angel's wings turned black,

And slowly,

each feather withered away one by one. 

The angel had never known

That God had always been by his side

that God had rewarded him by stripping him away his wings and allowing him to fly freely.

That God had consumed his heart with loneliness only to replace it with love and grace.

That God had given a new halo of life.

To be a man. 

To be a person of strength and salvation.

To be a person of joy.

To be a person of love.

To make a difference.

That was the angel's reward.

Life.

Take pride in life. 

Always.

To be a man.
To be a person of strength and salvation.
To be a person of joy.
To be a person of love.

That was the angel's reward.

that was a great insight into the creation of mankind I love when someone comes up with different angles on life and gives my imagination a stretch beyond the mundane existence we live, brilliant work Star Cross

this does not flow like a "poem"...but i do like the story & meaning behind it

[linasamzinn]

that was good :)

That is a very interpretation of an angel being "blessed" by becoming a man. Usually when the idea of wanting more and being greater than what we are, the thought of supernatural beings come to mind... but an angel becoming a man in order to make him free. I like it a lot.

This is quite sad, but sweet and has a very 'free' feel to it.
Beautiful
