An Angel

An angel visited me and spoke to me in two voices

I was the appointed listener and what was being said was not about my life at all.

I was the guide. That was my role.

But I allowed myself afterwards to envision myself alone,

But not alone,

And speaking to myself about the need for forgiveness,

Compassion,

Understanding,

And put some of that stuff back into my damned,

old, cast aside,

tool box.
