THE FLIGHT OF ANGELS

Thomas Aquinas calls it
 The Ministry of the Angels:
The mission of winged creatures
To deliver Divine Enlightenment
To earth’s sentient beings…As bees 
Carry pollen from flower to flower.

But the banishment of Angels 
Has been a requirement of Modernity
Over five centuries or more…
Now the condition of the planet
Demands their reinstatement
For it is they that can Awaken Us. 

Einstein’s existential question:
‘Is the Universe Friendly or not?’’
Is answered by Aquinas’ notion
That Angels embody love -
It is their love that renders it
A place of benign plenitude.

Called upon at times
Of deep reflection and silence
Midst the tumult of endogenous noise
They announce a divine silence:
It is in such moments of Quietude 
That these Spirits may heal us…
