The Company of Angels

Neville

The Company of Angels

 

In the company of angels

He stands proud

And yes

Despite those broken wings

Unfolding

She say’s her prayers

For him out loud

 

Whilst elsewhere

In the distant distance

White willows weep

Their silver tears

Pon scented and oh so very

Thirsty earth and true

 

Twas no coincidence

They burn their sage and

Incense sticks

In the cool shadows

Of an ancient yew

At least one full hour

Before the sun bit hardest

 

A futile attempt maybe

To deny the reaper  

Another soul for his

Dark harvest

Bitter salicylate released

And spread upon

So many different levels

 

Of course upon the wetlands too

Green spears prolific

For there it was on

Bended knees

She said her prayers for him

Out loud

And oh so very very true….

        • Nicholas Browning

          This paints a picture in my mind of a man in a tight spot, perhaps fighting in a war or a battle of self reflection, being prayed for by an angel that happens to be someone he knows. Also, there seems to be a dark coven that is conducting some kind of ritual. I am confusion, America explain.
          Oh well, don't mind me. Just trying to understand it.
          I like it to say the least.

              First time of viewing this piece of work Nev. Scene set at attempts to deny the Reaper his quota of souls by salacine burning and prayers etc.- - futile maybe but how bent those knees of love pleading for the one with broken wings. Your friend must have cherished this spiritual tribute.

              • Neville

                Thank you Fay many thanks indeed and a much appreciated visit ..... Neville

                • Fay Slimm.

                  My pleasure I assure you - - your work is so varied in subject and form - talented guy you are mon ami.

                  • Neville

                    you really are far too kind my friend.... N
