Angels
By
Radiance Angelina Petro
The remembrance of light awakens each room,
my prayer shawl drapes waiting over the chair,
I feel you arrive, turning time into wind,
and I know you will stay forever again,
you play hide-and-go-seek out in the open,
yet I’m always half-lost looking for you still,
you signal me warmer with audible light,
your laughter at the ready when I find you,
more reliable than the way of language,
your hands smooth my prayer shawl on my shoulders,
your signs and wonders affirm which way I go.
