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.
