Saving Grace

Saving Grace


The conventions of man
hold him prisoner
of his
own making
creating inner turmoil
and demons
summoning up visions
of spiritual relief
and
the call of angels to hear
his prayers

simple yet marvelous..very descriptive yet quaint with a message..men call for angels they would never need if not for themselves..brilliantly simply thought provoking..nice work
