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.
