Questions Waiting Reply From An Angel Poem by Roula Pollard

Angel
as you walk on the routes of earth and sky
as you wide open doors of hope to love
as you are guided by the light
do you ever see the black?

Angel
does snow freeze your bones
are your clothes renched by rain, by pain
when you meet iced human hearts
frozen by indifference
do you melt their arctic ice
do you feel human love frozen
are you hungry are you thirsty, when with poor people, do you live in poverty
do you sooth sadness, does loneliness penetrates your skin
does pain screw your heart when deserted
or you stay calm like your light carrying wings
do you give love, blood do you transfuse
in people in love

Angel
if you touch me like a petal
if you hold me whole next to your heart
if you don't fly away
if you lift me above the unknown
if you help me fly from the land of hate
If you fly me to the planet of love? !
