An Angel Cried

An angel cried this morning 
As another soul was lost, 
But not from lack of trying… 
It just wasn’t meant to be.

The entire choir chimes with 
Multitudinous dismay at 
The prospect of her prospect 
Drudged in mournful harmony.

Oh, if only she would listen,
If only she could heed, 
If faith would yield perception 
In her muddled little world.

In quiet desperation 
As the angel band pleads softly 
She stumbles to the precipice
And never hears a word.

A victim of indifference, 
A case of stubborn pride, 
Her fate an ageless story 
As another angel cried.
