To Ponder Poem by Patti Masterman

I wonder if forlorn angels watch from heaven,
Secretly coveting our indecipherable ways,
Our leaps of faith and vagrancies of reason
Stumbling hope which buttresses our days.
I wonder if their eyes can see forever
Hidden just beyond the farthest view
Than any humans eyes could even manage-
Visions which we might not wish we knew.
I wonder if they stay beside us, ever
Whether clothed with starlight or with flame.
I wonder, if they once were given freedom,
Would they leave and not look back again?
