Angels

Angels fly into my ear

and flutter their way to my brain

where they free me of my fear;

their wings willing wild thoughts to wane.

I hope these angels feel at ease

with where they are staying for now...

I'm not ready to set them free

until their strength they endow.

But I cannot tie them down

to somewhere they do not belong

so I'll release them from my crown

and find the strength I had all along.

I no longer have guardian angels

but I am also free of my demons

and the wisdom imparted from each party

is enough to keep my darkness alight

and is enough to keep my fears at bay.

Angels help me to sleep at night

and keep me watchful in the day.
