Walls

An angel that feels
Fallen
Know her strength but
Denies
Her divine nature
Even
When devil’s cast her out
She misses
The halo in the mirror
A light
That lifts souls around her
Holy
Set apart for greatness
The attacks
Armies crashing hard against her
Produce
Walls around a treasure
Some souls
Drawn from distant places
Feel
Power and light inside
Crawl
Through the dark battlefield
Scale
Walls of stone and bone and mud
The gravity
Of her buying light pulls them
Standing
At the door of true beauty’s home
Some ask
Not knowing the words she truly needs
Some beg
But beggars will never win her ear
One
Passes through the rabble
Knocks
Low and firm, confidently and simply speaks
Open
Latches click and whirl and he alone walks through
Now
He will spend days in the pleasure of
Showing
The things she misses in reflections
Building
A palace she should always have had
Stepping
Between her heart and dark wars
Caring
For her as she does for him
Together
Facing what may come
