Chapter 9: Angels

Metrical ScribblesWords: 1175

One day, I asked an angel why they have shed tears.

An angel just bowed a chin and the tears fell on my feet.

Later that day, I asked myself.

Does angels supposed to feel emotions if they were created as celestials who wouldn't feel a thing?

I look around and the world around me is ending.

I heard cries from the poor, dying in poverty.

I saw terrified faces from the citizens, frightened by the threat of a world war.

I stared at the tired eyes of a child, his eyes reflected the bushfires of a forest.

I turned on my left, an evacuee was all devastated staring at the black fog above.

I was bumped onto a person, I faced him and he said his apologies that he is no sick with a mask and pleading teary eyes.

I continued to walk but a mirror stopped me.

And there I saw, my reflection infront of me onto a mirror.

It made me in daze for a moment,

As I remembered the face of an angel;

It reflected the faces of people,

Crying, frightened, tired, devastated and pleading.

I never knew that an angel could reflect those faces into one frame.

I never knew that an angel would be helpless for a moment.

I never knew that an angel could be a person and would be like me in a day.
