Prayers And Angels Poem by Joseph Narusiewicz

Don't we cry with dignity
So forlorn and hidden
Grapes of bitter diamond change
Love pours rain, we are washed
Even the flowers sometimes sigh
All the roses bleed in beauty
Memory carries museums
Hope leaves the world of rooms
Recent ghosts in photos on the dresser
Love is strangers in amber fields
Have you seen the stars in tears
Their blue gaze in winter

Cleaned in sorrow
Hearts burned with refrain
Our conscience bent by graves
The quiet of the eternal silence
Surrounded by bridges
Motes where only darkness abides
Even tears will not walk these paths
I see you there still and remote
Barren as a steel door
No one can say a word
Grief has no friends
No windows to see the sun

I have walked with burning angels
Joy will cross the bleakest lands
Your suffering is the house of man
Immortality is a flame of forgiveness
Prayer casts out great stone masks
Breathe again like a miracle
Loved ones are in loves hands
Violence lives in hopeless mirrors
We all embrace sin like living death
We try to control love and become cold
Look there is a butterfly on your sill
My prayers are coming your way

Humming birds hover in your dreams
Sleep in orange groves of friends
The new family
People are sent like angels
Open the doors of vulnerability
Invisible church of wings
Higher power literature
Write your pain
Share your pain
Trust
Listen to the wise spring
Prayers and angels are in your path
