Angels & Mortals from Deux Anges by Bipolar Explorer (c/p. 2020 Slugg Records)

(spoken word)

Angels and mortals
In the inner silence
In the pain of the world
Its weight
Filling our hearts
In sorrow
With love
Our minds with wonder
Our very essence with fire.
For Love,
Kind and mercifully forgetful
Does not remember our failures
Our flailing
All that we cannot forgive ourselves
Is taken
She pries it, silently, from our fevered grip
As we lay asleep
Blessing us
The tapes erased
The slate made clean.
When we cannot find our way
Can find no star
Can see no light
Nothing
In the shrouded, blackened heavens
Full of blood and judgment
And below
Under heavy walls
Like a beacon
She re-illumines, she
Fills in all the colors
