#Wings of earth-bound #angels – v3

Wings of earth-bound angels
palm fronds, their branches,
rising up into the sun, falling
by the sides of their sleek bodies.
 
Outstretched spirits, captured,
melted into the trees, the palms,
temporary vessels for their bodies
earth-bound angels among us
standing on guard, on watch,
living sentinels of God.
 
Wings of earth-bound angels
not static, growing, dying,
held for a moment of time
then released from captivity.
 
Rising from the earth,
hearts lifted toward heaven
watching over our daily lives
their bodies hidden, within,
their wings revealed, in secret,
living sentinels of God.
 
Wings of earth-bound angels
touched by the hands of man
cut from the trunks, cast off,
unwittingly released from captivity.
