The Crash
When at last the mighty fall,
They fall like redwoods,
Leaves and all.
They scrape the sky,
But leave no traces,
Only wide and empty spaces;
They hit the ground
With mighty cracks,
Loud apocalyptic thwacks.
Nature then sees to the rest,
Disappearing them with zest.
That is how the mighty fall,
Angels, men, and redwoods tall.

I AM
Everything that is
IS because of God
Who sustains its being--
From Angels down to sod,
From earth and fire and crisp cool air,
From flying fish to burning sun,
From water up to outer space--
All hold their being from the One.

The Dark Night
I saw myself in Heaven
One dark and starry night;
No one else was there though,
Which gave me a ghastly fright.
"Where are all the people?"
I cried to the star-lit sky?
The answer came down quickly,
"Those who've learned to die
Frolic in the sun-lit meadows
With God's Angels from on High."

Sunset
It sank in a blaze of colour,
A flaming tangerine sun
That set the gathering clouds ablaze
With a beauty to make angels run.

Physics: Take One
I like the idea of an Echo
All the way back to the Bang,
Of Angels enjoying light matters,
Fore:
Light matters to all of His gang.

Seeing Red
The Cardinals assembled,
The smoke billows white;
There's a flurry of wings
Though no angels in sight.
The Pope sits in Rome,
The benediction's said,
The Cardinals dig in
Till the last one's been fed.

Movies
Are there theaters in Heaven?
Would Angels run the shows?
Would they show us The Avengers?
Only Jesus truly knows.

Steel Yourself
Tons of metal five miles high
Must even the Angels mystify.

Angelic Breath
An Angel plays the wind chimes,
Breathing in and out,
Softer than a whisper,
More compelling than a shout.
