I Dream Angel (Free verse) by horus8
I dream angel and the eternal questions
In dog years through owners and collars
Cheap wine and loose women; figments
of some idea's imagination from calumet
puffs and war -- upon horses freed to run.
I dream angel for the children of a lesser God
Bigger for living without legs or beauty or love
My faith sings through the night like a hunting -
- owl; ancient, silent, wise on wing, talon, sight
but blind I am to the pulse of my maker.
I dream angel for he that eludes me with flash
and tempest, tragedy. My brother fire will never
not dance -- will never not eat at the chance to
spread. My sister the foam and the wave, yes, the
Sea, so big as to forget me, and her own creation.
I dream angel for you that watches me fight chaos
Marduk the Tiamet. You loved me as a boy
and fed me at the lake my lady sweet lady with
hands like a warm statue you gave me my sword
You gave me my dream, said, "Angel... Awake."
I dream angel, have purpose, teach the words
in magic symbols crowned hyacinth I dream
many things, then those dreams begin to dream.
I dream angel, heart, blood, feather
But will dreams really make this better.
