When Angels Sighed

by William Mae   May 3, 2018


The world was harsh and dismal,
Weighty storms upon times clock,
Depressing days of endless grief,
In a day that’s now forgot.

No flower felt a soft embrace,
No petal touched a cheek,
No animal heard a glorious tune,
Or knew of such to seek.

No fragrance worthy of a scent,
The sun deferred to night,
The stars refused to raise their head,
The moon rejected light.

The breeze had no whisper,
Nothing broke the darkened spell,
Life really had no value,
Life on earth was hell.

The first day meaning came to life,
All would feel the same,
The heart of life began to beat,
The day the woman came.

For the beauty of the woman,
Was molded from God’s eye,
The first event I suppose,
That made the Angels sigh.

    Taken from darkness to a place where angels quite literally sigh, this piece (for me at least) stole the show. With great alliteration to creation, or intelligent design, the author/subject finds higher purpose upon meeting the woman he feels was created for him: his other half who to him was beautiful enough for even the angels to take notice. William demonstrates a poetic ear with his firm grasp of rhythm and rhyme. There are a few instances of wonderful personification that breathe life into the poem as well, and overall I felt this was most deserving of my 10
