Angel In The Dark

She flaps her wings of freedom to announce her presence. Darkness spreads its wings to victimize those who walk on the narrow roads- lost in the dark. She spreads her light And darkness loses its might Before her piercing light: Light- to brighten the road and guide Light- to warm the cold and give life. She, an angel in the night Is ever ready and always awake to run a fight to be of help with her innate Torch of Light. _______________ October 7,2017 Reflecting on the growing violence and chaos in our time, and aware that often and always there are those who stand to extend helping handsto the victims of the work of darkness.They are angels in our time.
