An Angel

is defined in my little on-line

dictionary as a heavenly

being, guide or guardian; more

than google, a glossy magazine,

radio or TV blinking

and ‘omen’ as a prophetic sign

or signal from the Mystery,

Beloved, God or Allah.

Of course, the ancient days are gone

when we believed in angel-notes from

Mother Nature - such as shapes

in leaves or whether birds appear

to fly, uplift and honk along together.

Today I almost saw a kingfisher

catching silver from water in a

river flowing back to where I

came from. Time passes, turns;

of course those days are gone.
