That faraway look of an angel
Reading and surfing slowly
across
Enraptured with memories so
feeble
Not wanting to appear lost
Demure and forlornly
stable
Reacting to one so
disappointing
Why are they not readily able
But flare up in an eye of a blink
To forgive and forget is
apt
Angels do that all the
time
But humans not one to
adapt
Stained and soiled in
grime
Why aren’t humans all
angels
So sincere and helpful to
all
Have a world in entirety
central
eh humans were never angels, there is free will involved there...and emotions and we let our heart rule...and find ourselves listening to it...and holding grudges...hey i am all for forgiveness...but i think you have to deal with your junk before you can get to forgetting...because when you get hurt it does matter and you cant ignore that.

If humans would be angels there would be a whole other world. Better, peaceful, but probably a lot less interesting.
ReplyDeleteNot even close to angels but it would be a better place
ReplyDeleteIf only it were that way, but sadly not as greed rules
ReplyDeleteYour poem captures a dream of a better reality! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteAh... perfection. that we would all choose nirvana at the end of our evolution.
ReplyDeleteWhy not indeed? Would we become jaded, bored? Nice write, Hank.
ReplyDeleteespecially love the first stanza here, hank...
ReplyDeleteWise and wonderful words coming through off the wings of a dream. Lovely prose.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful write Hank...
ReplyDeleteThought provoking piece, Hank.
ReplyDeleteSo heartfelt, Hank. I especially am drawn to stanza #3. I hadn't yet seen this prompt pic and think you captured the essence beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBy golly i think youve jagged it ! , an Angel indeed she is
ReplyDeleteOh that we were all angels and the world a better place - but would life develop a monotony...?
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Humans are just human..that is why we need angels to help us in the journey..we are free to make choices whether good or bad..thoughtful write Hank..:)
ReplyDeleteI like that view of angles. Pensive, kind, and...detached. While we slog it out here.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that would be ANGELS not, um, angles. Too early here....
