Angel Of A Deep Blue Mind Poem by Smoky Hoss

Life is dark shades
of deep blues and greens,
and most days
I don't even know what it means-
Only so many sunrises
and so many sunsets,
at birth we're dealt our hand
and spend our years placing bets-
Going from game to game
mostly losing and paying our due,
hoping to be blessed
and win just a few-
In the dark, a soft place
to lay your old head,
is perhaps the best we can hope for
before we're dead-
I have this angel, she understands
'bout being weary and worn,
and she knows the difference
'tween pearls and thorns-
When my heart feels
broke, blurry and bent,
she prays for me
with a love Heaven sent-
And if Heaven's not a place we're bound,
just the state of a deep blue mind,
then we'll hold it together
until it's in our hearts we find-
