"My Angel... "

for Sonja My Angel, I know you will never abandon me. You sit wholly encased in your frame, exactly as Sonja intended. Your will and your fate mesh perfectly. You look to the left, your gaze turned upward. Are you looking into my future? Or is something in my past on which you fix your sight? Whatever the object, I know your concern benefits me. My Angel, you are my other self, my parallel being. We share both surface realities and depths I can barely grasp. I am only half-alive unless your spirit unfolds itself throughout my being, body and soul. You cradle either a narrow rapier or a frail cross near your heart. Which one you use depends upon the challenges you face in protecting me. My Angel, let us pray together that only the gentlest measures are required.
