The Angel (poem by Dorothy)
The Angel
And if we should
perceive that
angel,
its blazing wings,
its shimmering hair,
let us have courage
to look
at it fully,
to feel
its radiant energies
as these flow
into who we are,
making us
more than we have
ever been
or imagined.
For an angel
is hard to bear.
What it demands
of us
greater than
the accustomed round.
What it wants
is nothing less
than everything,
relinquishment
of all the old ways,
heart opening
to a new creation,
self refashioned
into a more luminous design.
