Do you still believe in Angels?

  (A lone voice whispers)


The invisible Angel smiled at all the sorrowful covid patients


Sending out love and light to each 

Who laid before it 


On ward twenty-one of Saint Peters hospital 


And then looked at just one particular sad soul

Thomas Moore


Whose body was now broken and bent


For it was why he was summoned and dutifully sent


The smile it carried wasn't a smile of ill judgement but of profound hope 


For it knew the recently diagnosed patient would find the tenacity and strength to eventually cope


For they all do 


All they have to do is call for them

Angels from The Great  In-Between


The bringers of such priceless depositions to soothe the soul


The invisible folk


Who'll follow like betrothed guardian philanthropists


But now in a world filled with receding faith


They sometimes just huddle together 


By the eternal fire burning in the swirling neverending mists


Standing and waiting for just a prayer or call 


So they can fly into action


To break free of the lonely caressing arms of the Astral Realms grey smoke


Which moved and flowed all around them 


With a phenomenal supernatural intelligence that it chose to cloak
