We Too

They look down at us from above

angels

white winged glorious beings

seeing mostly

the tops of our heads

like push pins

multicolored against the earth

walking, running, and some

still trying to fly

trying to believe that Yes,

we too had wings once

that we too

could sit at the foot of God's throne

and gaze into Ecstasy.
