There Were Angels There

In all our works of art, through all of time
Everywhere this great world of ours upon,
We find signs of a Mystery sublime
Well worth our present meditation on

We find it in the painted records left
Of all the revelations ever known,
No matter the God-warp or Goddess-weft
To which each teaching afterward hath grown

We see it in the frescoes, murals, in
The statuary, each illumined book,
Every one to the others close akin —
We find it, simply, everywhere we look

No matter when it was, no matter where,
Without exception, there were angels there
