Angels and Allies

She cradles him in her arms.
A tear falls down her cheek.
She watches as he transforms.
The fluids begin to leak.

His passing becomes her duty,
This she must help him through,
For after the pain there is beauty,
And once more he'll be born anew.

Together, in love, they will rise,
Transformed as they move, towards the sky,
Beauty and joy will be their prize,
Always, in love, angels and allies.

Contest Prompt: http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh212/dtart24/?action=view¤t=GothicAngelHoldingDemon.jpg

To explain this piece: It is a piece about how two people can come together and be living breathing angels for each other. As they help each other through trails and tribulations (passing's) they become renewed...reborn...into better people. Angels don't have to be in the sky where we can not see or feel them, they can be right here with us, helping us every day, smiling at us and making us happy to be alive.

Good luck to everyone in the contest!

    Interesting take on the picture. I like it. I like the concept and the story. I actually really like it a lot. As I read, I found it flowed well and had good rhyming but, I wasn't too sure about the quality of the story. After reading your author notes, it explained it in a way I wasn't interpreting it. Completely changed my thoughts about it. Now I really thing it's a unique take on the picture, and I love it! Thanks so much for your entry and good luck in the contest
