A Summer Of Angels


That gear to move forward

 is often reverse

The best choice of words

fortune hides in a curse

Our holiest blessing

an omen that warns

And friendship most sacred 

in traitor’s reborn

Today frees tomorrow

once yesterday’s gone

Each phrase that escapes us

new words to a song

The time of the season

Fall Winter and Spring

A Summer of angels

— new devils will bring

 

(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)
