No Angels

                                          Through my lifes fast pulsing,
                                                         I have found
                                                  that only sometimes
                                               we seem void of angels.

                                           We find no fairy tale endings.
                                                    No heroic rescues
                                     from sudden bouts of our heartache
                                                and inevitable adversity.

                                            We have found no reversals
                                       for the hourglasses that measure
                                                     our ongoing trials,
                                    and time spent on this spinning earth.

                                     We are eluded of the helping hands
                                                who reach out suddenly,
                                             reaching confident and calm
                                      to help through unexpected struggle.

                                              However,we find in the end
                                         while face to face with the sunset
                                              that the same battles today
                                          will greet our reserve tomorrow.
