An Angel Asleep Poem by Richard Antwi

An Angel Asleep


Two scores and a half-decade ago
I knew him

Acknowledged in motherland as Angel
As a sojourner still remained he an Angel

Lived and served as an Angel
An earthly Angel

But Lo, on a sudden flight to eternity
To untainted province of celestial flight!

Family and Love ones
Weep no more
For Angels don't sleep!

Tis not death
But rendezvous with his creator

Fare thee well, Chancellor!

Richard Antwi
