Through Angel Eyes
©2017, Olan L. Smith
He existed visionless, careless, imageless,
In a darkness hoping to find his way;
He was sightless, in an unfathomable realm.
He was a person, who by night or day
Lived without dreams, devoid of musings,
Of angel visits, shared insight, or a channeled pace.
He was a man out of step, one who finds a way near journey's end.
Now, he possesses prophecy, his care is limitless, he exists
In an ether of pure consciousness, and he knows the way
Walking with a myriad of minds who sense coherence
In boundless realms; he sees province through angel eyes,
And with the sure footing of a master he finds the finish.
(This photo belongs to me, and it was taken by a friend of the family, the late Dan Moran)
