these angels

you try to keep
your religious beliefs
and faith
to yourself most times.
not mentioning
certain impossible
to understand
occurrences that
have taken place
over your life time.
no need to mention
angels, or narrow
escapes of death
or injury. who would
believe such things.
coincidence or luck
most people would say.
it's better to keep
such tales
of that other world
to your self, to be quiet
about your visits
to the holy ground of sorrow.
best to save
those tales until
someone needs them,
and they will.
