Stone Angels ~~ anna hood
There is an aura of suicides
in this place, too many dead
too many shattered hearts
shattered heads
scattered
ashes that litter my sky
like a scribble of inky
letters
I've heard of angels
heard their voices
wind chimes
a filigree of crystal notes
a Peruvian flute
that travels a trade wind
a magic carpet of sound
yes I've heard of angels
and their wings of sorrow
raven birds tethered
to a burned out star
a blackened star tucked
under a feathered wing a stone
angel who weeps at your head
I heard her whisper
Are you happy?
This then is for you.

I have this one on my PDA. Janice liked it so much she redid it for you. Why don't you post that one?

This is haunting, Anna. Beautiful.
This is one of the most poignant poems I've ever read. Tears came to my eyes as I read the end. How hauntingly sad yet beautiful.
kagjbre, the one Janis did is some strange font that I can't figure out how to put here.
