Are you an Angel?

It’s wonderful the way hazy memory of words, myths and stories gives us ways to express ourselves.

They say, life is lived in Circles. I feel, there’s some truth to it but perhaps it’s an infinite spiral - the very same feelings, reactions, thoughts - only slightly different.

Each ring becoming bigger with maturity, moving away from nothing towards the distant nothing.

Are you an Angel?

Of course I’m an angel!
Not a proud fallen angel,
but a little, melancholic one.

My deed, is to observe,
My writ is to watch,
And whisper in the ears of God.

Raziel is how I was named,
keeper of secrets,
seeker of knowledge.

I saw you and I spread my wings
without a thought,
without hesitation,
I see the most wonderful secret.

I spread my wings,
a black,
a brown,
a yellow,
and white,
all together
and so I flew down.

And here, I stand - before you.
