83. Ar-Ra’uf – Healing Wings


Suggests compassion, kindness, radiation
--- 'Take me by the hand; it's so easy for you,

Angel, for you are the road' Rilke 

An ‘angel’
is defined in my little on-line
dictionary as a heavenly
being, guide or guardian; more
than google, or a free magazine,

radio or TV blinking
and ‘omen’ as a prophetic sign
or signal from the Mystery,
Beloved, God or Allah.

Of course, the ancient days are gone
when we believed in angel-notes from
Mother Nature such as shapes
in leaves or whether birds appear
to fly, uplift and honk along together.

Today I almost saw a kingfisher
catching fish from water in a
river flowing back to where I
came from. Time passes, turns;
of course those days are gone.

The healing Down’s boy
Dance like an angel
under a cracked roof
smile like a devil
sprinkling seeds of love.

Flop your arm over
every person’s shoulder
going for your hug time,
rounding off a good time

and like any seraphim
letting go with ‘Ta-ra!’,
wave as a cowboy
abandoning his team.

Angels do their best
and walk off to the West.
