"When the Angel Came"––poem by Dorothy
When the Angel Came
Then the angel came.
It arrived in a halo of fire
so intense we hid our eyes.
Some dropped to their knees.
Others wept.
Then, although it spoke no words,
it gave us a message
that we all could comprehend.
It gave us truths
we had forgotten.
It reminded us of things
that we knew
but failed to practice.
For some, it quoted
from the holy books
they each revered.
For the rest, it gave old words
full of new meanings.
Finally, one of us
asked its name.
It paused, and then as it
swept away
(again in a blaze of fire)
it answered "Love"
and the sound echoed
through the heavens
and across the universe
before it became a full throated song
by the same name.
