A Golden Thread

Rest in peace - Earth was not made for angels

Often unseen

A dividing scene

He writes of love

Upon lost gloves

They were humming 

His name

To Crimson red 

Lines 

Freedom expedited

For some 

Fall to acceptance

Others climb

To a place

Where breathing

Is not consented

Men appearing big

Here's to a shallow small 

Lingered beyond

Places we all know

Something disappeared

A humane appearance

Upon the darkest Thames

To a Mississippi river

We read of blame

Upon lanes

Of silence

Headlines in gold

Threads told

Seamless packages

Addressing shackles

A broken rose

Smiles today

For a soul would fly

With wings often shy

To a better place

On Golden Threads

They so spoke

Of this day

The stairways 

Leading to a heaven

Souls that 

Remain

Disputing change 

In chains

A Lutheran call

Loved reading this, As angels weep may humans respond to deep love from above ;-]

[Fran Marie]

The angels are weeping
for mere mortal men
for all the wrongful hurt
mankind has wrought..

the civil unrest and
pointing fingers
blaming. each other
anger has pushed kindness
aside.. violence prevails
and shoves peace far away
and a new day begins in
in chaos ..and the angels
know humans haven't learned
at all..

[Serene Star]

But if angels are still there
They haven't left mankind

There is hope -
Thank you for your wonderful words

[Neville]

you are of course quite write... the earth was not made for angels.. or if it was, they clearly knew of a better place .. somewhere at t'other end of that elusive golden thread maybe.... an intriguing poem my friend.. I am glad you found me...

dear Serene... a stairway to heaven is a Leap of Faith...
to reach the Golden Gate. We all will take our last breath
naturally, we hope. However, when someone leaves too soon...
the Moon and Stars will mourn the loss. When our Country has tasted
destruction... will we gather together and build a better world where
Souls are clear as living waters. A beautiful inspiring invocation of ancient mystical powers. truly, Pat

Thanks Patricia

Reminds me of the movie "Michael" and how I wish he would come back today. He would be so upset at what he saw, but perhaps could work to bring us all together...as he did his friends in that flick.
The angels want to stay aloof right now...they see what is happening...all the unrest..
the devil is winning...we must break the chains on others, on ourselves...within our hearts.
And let love run rampant ....I really love this piece of writing.
