Poetry: Fallen angel

Oh stone angel,
You watch over the graves,
These men long dead,
These wonders you know.

Oh stone angel,
What have you seen?
What tears wept on this frozen grass?
What secrets whispered in this stone ear?

Oh stone angel,
Beaten, battered, broken,
Silent, uncomplaining,
Uncaring of the ravages of Time.

Oh stone angel,
What an angel of, truly?
Of God? Of Satan?
Of life? Of death?

Oh stone angel,
Guard the graves,
Silent, unnoticed,
Forgotten by all.

Oh stone angel,
Just another pile of rubble,
Each shard tells a story,
Oh, fallen angel.

    Looking into the light
    A warm glow
    The last glance
    A passing moment
    For an instant of time
    An eternity speeding

    Eyes dark, clouded by pain,
    Feather's torn in the rain,
    Calling out to the sky in vain,
    Eye's dark, clouded by pain.
