There once was a war of angels, that burned the very sky,
The angels of death fought the angels of life,
Upon the ground and in the air up high,
They killed each other, whether with gun or knife,
No one knows how it started or came about,
No one tried to make peace, no one at all,
They threatened each other whether with sneer or shout,
And stared at each other over the opposite sides of the
wall,
But from the side of life came an angel with glowing amber
wings,
And from the side of death, a black winged monster that
loved the light,
The life was a woman, who cared not for war or such things,
The death was man, who loved nothing more than to fight,
But the God's angel was forbidden to fight by her mother,
And was condemned just to watch the war between the white
and the black,
But the angel of death sought revenge for the death of his
brother,
And watched as the wall between them began to splinter and
crack,
The amber angel broke her chains and flew to help, the
others free,
The dark angel walked forward determined to draw blood,
But then they saw each other but knew it could never be,
And they both knew that the war would not do any good,
So the light pleaded with death to help her plight,
And death agreed, for many would be hurt in this foolish
war,
So he walked forward with his newfound partner light,
And as he did he felt a feeling he had never felt before,
That feeling was the emotion known as love,
It had found a place in the black ones heart,
And it slipped around him like an over tight glove,
And as he looked at her, he knew from her he could never
part,
But the others thought them foolish, thought they served a
lost cause,
The two stood lost, their wings on fire,
No one stopped to give them thought, or to give pause,
And Satan swept them up and threw them on his pyre,
But God felt sorry but could do nothing to help the lovers,
But undeterred they held onto the world they had lighted,
And clasped their arms around each other,
And as the fire around them burned, theirs was ignited… |
