I swear I saw angels looking back at me from the other side of the street

I swear I saw angels when I looked up or when I looked down and saw for the first time love, and care in the eyes of people like me

I swear I saw angels looking back at me.

Knocking down obstacles, lifting up their wings, grabbing me and encouraging me to lift up mine

I swear I saw angels looking back at me.

Not much to look at through my curly eyelashes as I clench my eyelids shut, wincing at the tears racing down my cheeks

I swear I saw angels looking back at me.

Reaching for love and receiving more than that. People leading me and giving me wise advice. People stopping to talk with me as I cry on a bench. People reaching although my hands are resting in my lap

I swear I saw angels looking back at me.

Grabbing for mirrors and calling out for love. Seeing with both eyes closed and knowing, just by the warmth of my outer spirit

I swear I saw an angel staring back at me.

–It’s the God in you.
