Nine Small Ways to Consider Angels

- narrated short poems by Pernoste & Dahl

Do you believe in Angels? Whether you believe it or not, they are around you and always desire to help as much as they can.

Maybe they are surprised at how few people try to talk to them and how few ask for their help in their daily lives. You could hear facts about Angels, their origins, and their role in our Creator’s divine plan, but maybe that isn’t as important as feeling them in your heart and wishing for them to help us bring beauty and love to the world.

They are not so different from us, mostly differing in time and openness of soul that we have had… and will have … and will always have.

We do not try to convince you of Angels… because just getting you to think of them is enough to change the world just a little bit. — Pernoste & Dahl

You can listen to the voice narration with music while reading this piece.

1. A Call

God calls sometimes, touching silent our hearts, and he takes us from ourselves, to ask us to serve as his Angels just for a moment

2. Giving Witness

Unseen, on busy streets he watched quiet to the side the rapid, lightning blurs they walked, the centuries just long minutes for him.

To be human is so brief, immortal souls in frail vessels, ephemeral as butterflies.

He slowed time, to hear their cries, laughter & sorrow, passion & pain and the Angel saw the beauty in it all.

3. Five Angels and a Man

He could not hear, so the Angel came, and he couldn’t see so another joined the first. Soon three more arrived to help this great heart. Only five were needed this time, in the late hours, to soothe him in his grief, but many more were ready.

4. Mighty Prayer

So fragile the heart and soul when the night comes. Dreams’ windows aren’t walls against gods or demons when they assail you with messages unwanted.

Please guard me, Michael, for I am still a child in heart and would hide myself beneath beautiful Archangel wings.

5. Dreams

I see you when I dream and feel you in the day as a feather in my mind, painting in delicate touches a small understanding of my true self

6. Cruel Love

When I can’t carry on, I can see your face, my Angel in life, and I’m on my knees to be with you again. Prayers, tired prayers, I make in your name, but you ask me now to be as strong as you. So cruel at times is love, so eternal in my heart.

7. Beautiful Fall

Worry adorned her beautiful face but urgency forced the dire decision to take earthly garb, to hold the child, to heal her wounds, and carry her to a safe place

She didn’t remember walking before, and soon she forgot that she had had wings.

8. A Path Changed

It was a simple moment, a brief stumble on the street, a man with the eyes of an Angel.

He delayed her 2 minutes with gentle conversation enough time to matter. Then a missed crosswalk light, and another chance encounter with a dearly needed friend.

9. Love’s Destiny

He took the easy ways, avoiding the truths and difficult confrontation to gain his heart’s desire.

But at almost every turn he seemed to find her, as if by design of Angels, until he gathered courage to re-gain her heart.
