"Encompassing Emissaries"

Angels surround earth's creation
Spread their wings, soar to distant lands
Without rising currents of air
To guide their divine assignments.

Girded by a divine ballast

Angels surround earth's creation
To protect mankind from itself;
From lurking dangers deep within.

Souls fall prey to ardent leisure
Amidst the cunning ruse of vice.

Angels surround earth's creation.
Dark perils are swathed with wings.

From the intensity of grief. . .
To the quintessence of joy
Earth will e'er trill the melody--
Angels surround earth's creation.
