I perchanced to meet an orphan
in the house of the King of Kings,
We worshipped our God together
while angels untied the strings.
Strong strings that couldn't be broken
not even by angels above;
Knotted and twisted is an orphan’s life
living in search of love ...
The Good Book had been opened
sent down from God above,
Very carefully the words were spoken
by an angel, on how to love;
Be ye kind one to another,
loving like angels above
Knotted and twisted is an orphan’s life
living in search of love ...
And while the choir was singing
an orphaned angel grasped my hand
Passing along love unspoken
supreme love that makes no demands;
Demands that couldn't be broken
not even by angels above
Knotted and twisted is an orphan’s life
living in search of love ...
Later that day near sundown
The love was passed as food
My thanks to the angel that cooked it
And everything was so good.
So love was a dish of kindness
served by the angels above
Knotted and twisted is an orphan’s life
living in search of love ...
And all night long the light shone round
in my house of the King of kings;
I worshipped my God in the glory
of the love that a friendship brings
Friendship that grows ever stronger
witnessed by angels above
Knotted and twisted is an orphan’s life
living in search of love ...
The morn crept in with shades of dawn
the angels were singing above
The earth lay still upon the soil
and life had offered her love;
A love that's quickly mistaken
as that from angels above
Knotted and twisted is an orphan’s life
living in search of love ...
From a sea of glass, to a lake of fire
the reflection mirrors my soul
And raises many questions
but to the angels I'll pay my toll;
I lived and loved like an orphan
learning from angels above,
Knotted and twisted is an Angel’s life
looking to pass along love ...

Author notes
I met my living angel in a church and later we were married, this poem is about those feelings that I had as the friendship progressed into that very special relationship that can happen between two individuals. It is so much more than the physical universe and angelic love is a very special knowingness that all orphans hunger for and some are blessed enough to find. The definition for "orphan" as used in my poem is someone who is learning about spiritual love through those earth angels who show rather than tell.
Please feel free to leave all comments of how this poem could be improved because my feelings about it were very strong.

In the search for Love Divine there is no greater prize than that of a soul mate. Apparently I've been looking for it in all the wrong places...lol. Congratulations on your find and good luck in the contest.
