Angels by Michael Keshigian

Circling above,
camouflaged by clouds,
tips of their wings
fanned like fingers,
they smooth distorted clouds
to a silken, translucent texture,
hazing the bright blue ceiling,
whimsically tickling heaven’s brow
while emitting a clarion call
as divine conversation,
a syllable or two back and forth
in leisurely fashion
as if time did not exist
although the sun was low,
settling in the west
and they had fallen
into the shade
while endearing the moon.
