Angel and Salvation

As the midnight wind blew

The world moved without realization

That between the brink of heaven and hell

Stood an Angel and Salvation


The Angel stood

tears falling from her eyes.

Salvation stared willing a way to bring

Her back from the ledge, from the depths

To heal her and mend her broken wings


She turned her head

to cast a glance

Behind her he prayed and beckoned

Salvation willed the Angel's return

And hoped she'd pause for a second


"This is all willed by god himself"

Salvation whispered to the Angel

"These are games of the devil"

Against Salvation cried the Angel


"Peace I shall bring to thee"

Salvation resolved again

"Peace is laced with bitterness"

The Angel she defended


Pulling from depths of his soul

Salvation slowly relented

"My dearest Angel

let me love you

In that all may be mended"


The Angel

wings battered and defeated

Toes pulled

curled along the edge

Took breath and let bitterness dissolve away

And move she did

further from the ledge


As the midnight wind blew

The world moved without realization

That together in each other's arms

Stood an Angel and Salvation.
