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?”
