I Followed an Angel

~ I followed an Angel

I followed an angel
I followed it to a place
I followed it to heaven
To the pearly white gates

I followed an angel
I followed it to a place
I followed it to a riverbed gone dry
To watch it bring back missing life

I followed an angel
I followed it to a place
I followed it to the depths of the deepest ocean
To shelter it self from falling grace

I followed an angel
I followed it to a place
I followed it to a playground
To see it’s wings expand and shower it with a brilliant elegance

I followed an angel
I followed it to a place
I followed it to a grave
To see it shed a tear in remorse in utter disgraced

I followed an angel
I followed it to a place
I followed it to heaven
To the pearly white gates

Heaven can not wait forever
Heaven won’t wait forever for me
I can only imagine the angel wings devoured
By empathy, solitude and shame

By following the angel
By following it to a place
By following it to the ends of the earth and back to the pearly white gates
I learned that life is full of remorse, shame and heartache

By following the angel
By following it to a place
By following it across the heavens
I learned each angels forgiveness is a personal redemption in faith
