What first inspired me to write a blog was a mention by my high school English teacher Beth Landau in one of her blog posts a few months back. I had posted a poem as a facebook note and tagged several people I thought would appreciate it. Beth was kind enough to post my poem on her blog for me before I had a blog myself (Link to her post Here) but now that I have my own blog I thought I should post my writing here as well. The poem is a reworking of something I wrote several years ago and had never really liked the way it flowed. So after spending the better part of 8 hours working on rewriting it I arrived at the final product titled The Likes of Angels
Far above, the likes of angels,
from departed souls they fly,
alight then with a band of friends
and take their place amidst the sky.
Each blessed before they start to shine,
bestowed with honor, tact and might,
awarded with a place of power,
trusted with the gift of light.
Shinning with the light of lifetimes,
clad in robes divine and white,
bathing us in faith and virtue,
from the rafters of the night.
