The Company of Angels
The Company of Angels
In the company of angels
he stands proud …
And yes
despite those broken wings
unfolding
She say’s her prayers
for him out loud …
Whilst elsewhere
in the distant distance
White willows weep
their silver tears
Pon scented and oh so very
thirsty earth and true …
Twas no coincidence
they burn their sage and
incense sticks
In the cool shadows
of an ancient yew
At least one full hour
before the sun bit hardest …
A futile attempt maybe
to deny the reaper Â
another soul for his
dark harvest ..
Bitter salicylate released
and spread upon
So many different levelsÂ
Of course, upon the wetlands too
green spears prolific grow ..
For there it was on
bended knees ..
She said her prayers for him
out loud
And oh’ so very, very true ….

Oh wow Neville I went from a perfect morning to a dark, mournful place. This is a super write. I liked the use of the willow tree to represent tears and sadness. I also liked the reference to using sage to cleanse the area, this is a common thing to do. Quite a sad read but a beautiful one none the lessÂ
Great poetry my friendÂ
