TEARS AND ANGELS

A long time ago.
so lost…
in moments of fear
and hatred…

fury raging, and
fire…
burning…!

I saw the tears of Angels
falling
upon my dirty face…

… my frightened face!

and I cried… aloud
and mostly for myself
… I cried!

heard them
say that the Lord died
… crying,
in suffering he died,
and for His Father…

… and that He died for all of us,
and for the very tears
of Angels
… he died…

… and for all the world,
… he died.

“Fear not Soldier!
… your scars are mine,
and they shall carry you
home… “
