Stone Angel
Wings of Stone 4
Angels watch with darkened gaze
Tears of pearl fall, unfettered,
Flee to cluttered fields and rest;
Frightened children beyond their days
fear wings of stone
with whispered prayer,
Shall not lift us;
“ O’ Lord,
Would’st Thou have us know
Thou shalt smile and intervene
to soften wings of stone?”
