Description
Melancholia has sunken its teeth into me as I came upon a picture of my Bud (little brother) in happier times. I thought about the potential he threw away and about how some never got the chances he did. The photos of the children killed in Syria did not help my mood at all.
Today The Angels Wept
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children’s souls
Into their hearts once more
They cried the tears we shared
As halls were stained with blood
And hearts throughout the land
Were united against the flood
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children’s souls
Into their hearts once more
Their souls fell in despair
At what we had become
To see the Creator’s work
With hate and fear undone
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children’s souls
Into their hearts once more
They sank onto their knees
And raising tear-stained faces
Sent mournful prayers above
For children of all earth’s races
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children’s souls
Into their hearts once more
They cried out to the Heavens
To the One they call the Dove
Lord, when will they ever learn
The only path is that of Love
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children’s souls
Into their hearts once more
They shed their tears for us
Of mankind, they left out none
Because Angels know the truth
Without exception, we are One
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children’s souls
Into their hearts once more

Excellent and touching image !
A moving write up to accompany a wonderful scene. Very well done.
wonderful scene
beautiful wings and words. you really set the mood. I wonder who killed the people with gas, the leader or the rebels to further their cause. with no other country willing to take part in any military action, why should the US. if US soldiers are on the ground there, rebels and government forces will be trying to kill them
You'll get no argument from me. I'm tired of us being at war.
A very moving scene and descriptive! Most excellent artwork!
Beautiful work! Memories can be a double edged sword at times.
