An angel in a jar. Safe from the corruption. Will not be tainted, Will not be harmed Innocent as a flower petal falling from the wind. She sits and watches the world pass her by The colors of the earth reflect off her skin. Safe from the darkness, safe from the sin.
An Angel in a jar. Oh what a delight! A little slice of heaven in your pocket for the night The color of her hair is as white as milk The texture, Smooth as silk. Her doe eyes are opalescent like crushed pearls And as resplendent as the soul she holds
An angel in a jar Pure like mist, Pretty and loving with delicate finger tips No judgments she makes, no dreams she breaks She sits in her jar, watching with wonder Here to protect, to cherish, to love. An angel that fits in your palm like glove.
These are poems that have been written over a stretch of two years, during a time of terrible hardship and illness. They are poems, letters to God, and written mementos of sorrow, pain, joy, relief, and love. Maybe even one or two of them will be words of your own heart. . . .
The cage of dreams that haven't quite taken flight yet...
