Among Us Angels Walk!

Living in a world that seems to hold no peace,

we search constantly for that bridge to cross.

When the bristles of lonliness prick our spirit,

we seek a path that says we are not yet lost.

 

You are there, you walk silently among us,

voicing the frustrations that threaten our serentity,

inciting spirituality that leads us from a release

of doubts to a love promised to us for infinity.

 

Taking a hand, you traverse souls through murky

waters to the shores of inspiration we pray to find.

Guided by your insurmountable faith,we begin

 to clear the cobwebs of distrust from our mind

.

 

When towers of strength start to crumble upon

 one's reserve, sprinkling about desperation's mist.

As the putrid desires of life's demons descend upon

our despair to grasp us in the confines of evil's fist,

 

you are there, you walk lovingly among us,

your invigorating essence inudating wounded hope,

whispering restoration into shaken faith that

devours the beliefs that alloted souls to cope.

 

Among us, you walk, upon crippled hearts you

supplant healing kisses, with wisdom to maintain.

Born you were to tread territories of disparity sheltering

the weak and disillusioned from purgatory's rain.

 

I hail your existence for the benevolence it has

bestowed upon a society that so needs restoration.

This day, the day you were graced to walk among us,

I devote myself to humbly honor His wondrous creation!

    Excellent

    Such a well crafted write. So very perfect for the image. And full of wonderful thoughts. Best of luck in the contest.


  • Sam is indeed an earth angel and you expressed those sentiments with the greatest of all charities...LOVE! I agree with every well written stanza of this poem. Samplette has been my dear friend since she came to AP. We don't talk as often as we once did but I always feel her near. I am sure she will cherish these words. This is an exceptional tribute poem. I wish you well in her challenge.


    Always Loving YOU ♥
