Indeed life
tangles the edges
grasping like weeds
faith checks wildness
pulls all sapling
rebellion roots
bitterness leaves
a barren haven
where Angels go to die
For my darling friend, because he asked. Thank you Vince for your support.

"Faith checks wildness"? Oh dear, we hope not. We're always up for a little rebellion.

ah but haven is what I meant this time....heaven is a Holy place and Angels go there gladly.
ReplyDeleteSo a haven would be someplace holding dread for them, barren and unwelcome biding into the dark.
You have helped me in concluding that banishing bitterness is always the best route. And bitterness can kill even Angels, for Satan was a favorite Angel once.....
(Wow, someone got me to talk about to whys behind one of my poems.)
