Meditation 37 – By Anne Brooke

Published By Anne Brooke • Apr 12th, 2009 • Category: Poetry


Cover my life
with angels.

Hammer them out
in gold
and place one
at my beginning
and one at my end.

Stretch their wings
wide over my days
so I may hide
within them.

    I think angels would prefer that you become involved with other people and not have you hide.

    Sometimes you can do both, Roberta, and that’s fine too though …
