Oh fallen angel,
Fragile silhouette
What, in Heaven’s
Name happened to you?
Are you crying
Behind your snow white
Blindfold, or are
They just protecting
You
From the ugliness of
Our ungrateful world?
Oh angel,
Beautiful creature
Where are they
Taking you? Shouldn’t
You be the one
Guarding us?
Your arched shoulders
Ruffled feathers,
Were meant to become
A masterpiece…
Inspiration for a nation
Giving a voice
To the young and
The old-er.
Oh fallen angel,
Fragile silhouette
What, in Heaven’s
Name happened to you?
Cyranny's Cove 
Fallen Angel. Rising Star
Tell me where you’ve been so far
Tell me all that I might see
If I should be so heavenly
Tell me of my God above
Tell me of His boundless love
But. Tell me. Did you have some doubt?
Is that why He cast you out?
Did you look, but could not see?
His precious holy trinity?
Did you think, but could not say
That there might be another way?
Did you touch, but could not feel
Everything He claimed was real?
Did you see the acrobat?
Angel. Did you smell a rat?
You felt him in your breath. Your air
You felt Him here. You felt Him there
You felt Him in your heart. Your core
You need not feel Him anymore
This is His night. This is your day
You didn’t need Him anyway
For He was never there at all
So. Angel. Let me break your fall

I am guessing that a lot more angels would dare to take a leap if they knew they’d get such a warm welcome into our mortal world 😉

Thank you, Beckie 🙂 This was inspired by the above painting, which is iconic in Finland. I should post about it later tonight. I saw a documentary about it yesterday, and it stuck in the back of my mind 😉
