Still
“Still” said the Angel
as she cradled the heads
of the couple who slept
in their old marriage bed.
“Still” said the Angel
to the girl on the street
bike wheels still spinning
as her heart stopped its beat.
“Still” said the Angel
as She stretched out her wings
and covered the battle field
playground of Kings.
“Still” said the Angel
to the wino who cried.
As she lowered his head
he smiled and died.
“Still” said the Goddess
to Her Angel of death.
“Your work’s finished now.
Sit still- take a breath.”

lindianaover 18 years agoI don't often enjoy the simple poems...but this one is simple hiding behind a curtain of decided intelligence. Thank you.
average ginaover 19 years agoGiven the subject we just talked about, I nearly cried reading this. So sweet and peaceful. I can't even express how much I enjoyed this.
TheDR4KEabout 20 years agoGreat work. I actually really liked the rhythm and flow of the work. My only problem was with the second last stanza, where I had to go back (and have to go back every time I re-read it) and not flow from the second to the third line in the same rhythm as the earlier ones. Excellent imagery though throughout.
