An Angel in a God's garden of roses sings.
Each petal is like a feather from her wings.
    We are all a petal in God's
    garden of roses.
So, as the petals unfold
With such beauty untold.
And like the petals that wither and die,
So must we, as we return to the earth,
to be born again.
       ©S.Trone~

The angels keep their ancient places
Turn but a stone and start a wing!
'Tis ye, 'tis ye, your estranged faces
That miss the many-splendored thing.

--Francis Thompson
The Kingdom of God

Still an angel appear to each lover beside, But still be a woman to you.
Thomas Parnell

The golden hours an angel wings
Flew o'er me and my dearie;
For dear to me as light and life
Was my sweet Highland Mary.

--Robert Burns
Highland Mary

If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.

--Richard Lovelace
The Althea: From Prison

At the round earth's imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls.

--John Donne
Holy Sonnets

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

-----Antoine De Saint-Exupery
