“There is a War in Heaven” <br /> <br />The wingbeats of distant angels <br />Sound against the sky <br />Their war drums are thunderous <br />Never asking why <br /> <br />Their tears became the raindrops <br />Vice and virtue alike <br />The feathers fell like snowflakes <br />From one fatal strike <br /> <br />The lightening we see through ashen clouds <br />When angels take up arms <br />And clash their swords against the gates <br />Gregorian praise and charms <br /> <br />Be aware, sweet angels, beware <br />Do not lose thy grace <br />Do not fall as Lucifer fell <br />Gone without a trace <br /> <br />We are deafened by their screaming <br />And blinded by their war <br />Muted by their love for Him <br />The angels will fall far.<br /><br />Rebecca Kate Summers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hypocrites-and-wingbeats/
