Wings
Open the wings of your thought
to see the light
and the majesty of this world…
It is true, I mark you
the saying…
that men have entertained us
without knowing it
We alight beside you
Unseen
unless commanded by our Maker
to reveal
Sometimes that revelation may be
partial
As with a touch
feather-like upon your cheek
the squeeze of the shoulder
close to your neck
ever so light
Others speak of a mighty wind
Sweeping them as if from nowhere
But out of the danger that suddenly
befell them
Our downdraught alone can shake nations
should the Powers and Principalities move as one
But that is rare
Done only upon the utterance of
The Most High Ancient of Days
We, Their royal circle
We, the Proclamation of their Existence
Their Deity
On other times we will sit
and talk with you
When you are quiet and at peace
Wondering why that sense of oneness
Overcomes you;
That gentle touch of the finger
at the appointed hour
That shifts your eyes to the clock
Above the counter
quietly reminding you
your desk awaits
It is time to get back to your work
We are the unseen
above the battlefield
We do not engage
But we do assist in a myriad ways
Quickening your senses
Alerting you to danger
Not often
we will even speak out a word
singular
awaking you
usually your name
just one syllable
but so powerful, so real
that every instance is marked
on the time line of your life
You recall every instance
Like our Maker
Your Creator
We are outside time
And thus we move the heavenlies
Like you, we see the past
But we see the future too
before it is unfolded;
Life’s blueprint opened up to us
sufficient to enable us to assist.
But the rest concealed
to guard against our attempting
to overcome your free will,
The directive of our Maker
The Most High Ancient of Days
But here is the difference
Between you and me
When you are in that most secret place
In communion with Them
Not even the Great Archangel Michael
nor even Lucifer
can hear your utterances
That communication is secret
