Angelic Purpose

Devastated again, wandering through
the aftermath of Armageddon
kicking through remnants, examining in
hindsight whether my vision was delusion or divine
-
wandering through the days
always confused- seeking moments of inspiration
hoping desperately for another miracle
Ecclesiastic icon- turn my tears to wine
-
What Angelic "Purpose"?
no angel perched on my shoulder to coerce me
nor can I blame a demon's whispers for my choices
fault not an angel for non-intervention- my crime
-
misbegotten prayers
floating free in a sea of misguided apathy
enlightenment comes from within, not incantations.
I alone can guarantee that I will not be devastated again.
