harshness overshadows endurance
and we lament that we cannot soar
with unknown perils and darkness
so feared by the angels who
dread thunderous roars
drenching rain sears the delicate
wings and we fell
escape to a paradise lost was gone
and warmth for our souls was unknown
angels seldom show worldly anger

wow, this is very powerful. I love the picture as well. You bring out the power and beauty within it. Great work. I assume you're not done yet, since it's under the "I'm focusing on this poem" section. A GREAT start then. Wonderful!
