ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL

All these jackals
That follow at my back
And this pursuing
Tsunami

With the scavenging
Justifications
That sow thoughts
Of imperfections

Sweeping gradually
Those sweet memories
Of victories
And triumphs

Those days
Of pleasant moments –
Past –
But rewarding

Shall,
As I hope,
All crumble
And disappear

As I find myself –
A high flyer –
On the wings
Of an angel

Soaring
Endlessly
In the angel’s bossom:
Comforting and relieving

Worthy to erase
The tears
Of these days
Of wrought and wreckage

And these lies
Borne from lack
Shall all too, be polished gold
In the journey’s pathway

As I find
This glorious angel
To carry me
Into pleasantness
