Flight Of The Angels

[Guest Neuro]

Surrounding me are angels chained to the earth

Angels crying, beaten, battered, torn.

Angels who when on a rainy day, lent me their umbrella with a soft smile. "Never give up!" she whispered.

Angels who are mothers and comfort me when I have no home, telling me that I was in control of my own destiny.

Angels who are mystics, always questioning their surroundings and the possibility of a deeper meaning to all of this--they accept my views and treasure them, they cultivate this earth with their spiritual strength.

Angels who are my close friends, they are fun and easy to talk to. Until the chains tighten. Tears cover their faces and tell me how much it hurts. But then I look at my own shackles and wonder... If I could help them, these would have to go.

Angels who are my little sisters, sweet and helpful but loving to talk! Such angelic sisters, so cute and little; hard to handle the sight of those wretched chains, pulling them down, down, down... It's so hard for them to fly with those chains. Where did my sisters smile go?

Angels who are determined to break free. Strong role-models who I can only imagine being as high up there as. However, even they the chains capture; not even their wings can hold them up now.

I used to be an angel once. Or maybe I never was. All I can see for miles are chains and binds. I struggle to free my sister... CLACK of the lock. She hugs me and says, "Thank you, Oniichan!" her wings dazzle in the sunrise, the first we've seen for a while.

I help my friend from his binds. He looks down at my shackles but I tell him he has to go--he tries to drag me with him, but has to promise me to come back later. I know he will!

The angels and mystics and mothers and brothers and role-models and heroes; they all tear off their chains and head towards the horizon. I am trying to catch up to them, crying and asking "Please, I have eyes that cannot see--please tell me what freedom is like?"

The angel mother looks back and smiles, says "I cannot tell with words alone. Come see."

But my shackles are still on.

By the time everyone entered Heaven, I still remain on earth imprisoned by these chains.

I look to the skies beyond the horizon and wonder... "When I get these off, can I ever be as free as the rest of them?

Or do I even have wings to grant that wish?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wrote this very late at night... A story about all of us on here, how we are all tied down. How I see all of you as angels, poor little angels cast aside and bound... If we use our wings and break these chains, we can escape.

But I'm not sure I even have wings to come if I could.

((Is not about suicide, is about finding freedom and peace))

This is dedicated to all of my friends and mothers and aunts and uncles and brothers and sisters and all of the angels on here.

I'm sorry if it was poorly written. This is a prayer from my heart before I go to sleep. Everyone sleep well, you are all angels.

Michael,

You should never apologize for anything written from your heart.

It is beautiful and quite moving.

You may be reassured that this is one angel that will never leave you even when her chains are broken.

Love ya,

Sally

Ok, that is one of the few things I've ever read that made me "mist'......I don't "mist". Talented.

[Guest Eth]

Oniichan...

You're amazing. That was absolutely amazing.

We'll break free of the shackles one day. ^^ And this gave me enough hope to be certain of that.

An unbelievable tribute to all here at Laura's - just unbelievable

You 'are' an angel - you do have wings - you are our brother... we would never leave you behind, we just couldn't.

And you did make the little tears roll down my cheeks - you did that you know... and I cry easier now, but I thought I had it under control.

This moved me beyond my control... oh my!

wow, Michael, i am truly moved.

but i don't think any of us would be able to fly away without you.

and i think we feel how you do more than you know... we are all bound to this earth.

but one day, perhaps, we can all be free and happy together.

peace&love
