Do you know if angels celebrate birthdays?

Do you know if angels celebrate birthdays?

Or when an angelic life begins? 

I can only guess and wonder

Or wish for balloon-size firecracker luck 

Well… fate or fairies or other spirits

Have blessed me… only I don’t know why 

Sending an angel from blissful paradise 

You couldn’t locate the precise coordinates of 

A paradise on a compass-measured path

Aglow between blushing heaven and easter sky  

Do you know if love actually burns?

Allow me if I may 

Allow me to light a thousand candles 

So I could warm my angel’s smile 

To give her baskets of blackcurrant dreams

Or to prepare feasts of candied fruits or…

If I may be so bold I wish I could but 

Humbly offer her my heart to hold  

Or simply to adorn the feathers 

Of her forget-me-not-interlaced wings if I may

Will my angel accept gifts?

Or simply smile at my awkward attempts 

To mumble clumsily how blessed I am

My heart bursting at the seams 

Freed from threads yet ready at once to beat 

Between invisible walls in unison

Or I don’t know perhaps there are no barriers 

Between my angel’s heart and mine… 

Between its light particles and my shadowed soul

Don’t know why heaven showered so much bliss on me

Will my angel accept my clumsy 

Spring-charged messages 

Packaged in bundles of electrifying love?

Will my angel bless and smile 

Or hum vernal songs to the newborn world?

Newly emerged from its baptismal font 

Ready to blend with resurrected life 

I don’t know but I am so blessed 

So please accept my world-sized package

Of firecracker Love with a message in caps lock

NO RETURNS…
