Undressing Earth's Angels

The Angel stands in waiting ...

Let all walls fall to the floor

in a crumbled form

touch some one in need

not profoundly, just touch

help those that hurt

including yourself

let all truth come out

no matter how personal and deep

shed a tear for some one who has more than yourself

a true tear 

dance in the bright light of happiness

even if you are homeless and forgotten

smile to the masses 

remembering, they too have suffered

walk into the garden of questioning

and question not 

stand by the sea watching the sunrise

think of those that will see it no more

hold the hand of a friend, always

even when choices differ

realize that enemies hold different values

not all are death threats

cast aside hatred at any level

think of all God's, as a God

An undressed angel walks with no shame

releasing all, that it had contained

rocking a baby is the same for all

undressing an angel, when all walls fall 

who would stand stark naked for love

we will see when push comes to shove

hurtful, hatred, in the iris shines

blinding all and forgetting the mind

This is beautiful. Love the line...

"shed a tear for some one who has more than yourself
a true tear "

as often those with so much truly have very little...

Hi Holly. A beautiful write and message about angels. Encouraging and uplifting. Skillfully crafted free verse which I enjoy. Flow is good as is the line to line transition and breaks. Nice rhythm and enjambment. Lovely depth of feeling. Powerful closing verse. Well penned. Write on!

Very nice Holly. Your poem reminds me of this quote.

Quote from "The Outer Limits The Voyage Home"
(Closing Narration) The true measure of a hero is when a man lays down his life with the knowledge that those he saves... will never know.
