We can be like angels
and touch each other deeply,
like sunset rays illuminate the clouds,
and feel, like angels,
the shimmering transcendency
that lifts us out of any tortured place

We can move like angels
to be where needed instantly
to give the bright embrace
that fills us up,
and live, like angels
on the nourishment
of blessing as we’re blessed

Yes, we can be like angels,
for this is what was promised us,
and this is what we’re made to do
and this is what we want.
