Angel Shadows

                   ANGEL SHADOWS                  (By Jim MacMaster)                  [January 14, 2000]              [revised March 16, 2002] We think of angels      in the light beckoning      us with their flight, so iridescent      and surreal seemingly       alive to feel. But if we close      our eyes to see beyond the plane       of you and me we catch a glimpse      of what is there,  the real thing,      not magic fare. Created by       some other being always present,      always seeing, the Angel Shadows      soft and strong emancipated      from those gone. Like blankets wrapped      to keep out cold or loving arms      to lift the old, brave, dark sentries      forever there on solid ground      not in the air. For reasons that      we cannot know, in places we'd      thought not to go, they hang around      as lives unfold and guide and save      our dreams to hold. And though no faces      and no names we know them yet,       just the same. those Angel Shadows      will never leave unless, of course,      we don't believe.         END
