An Angel's Wings

An Angel's wings are earned, feather by feather
at an unfathomable cost.

Because it's only after everything's been lost
that an angle can finally see
whom it is they came here to be.

For only a ship that's been tossed and then lost
upon an indifferent sea
can carry the cargo no hunger nor disaster
could ever exhaust.

That luggage of love, that holy missive
from above
that cardinal language that fits everything
and everyone
like a glove.

That ever warming whisper
we all dream of.

No... an Angel's wings come at a cost.

Because without them
all our hopes
would be lost.
