Australian Saint Mary McKillop. I expect she was a good person. Just not sure why that defines anyone as a heaven sent saint.
What do saints mean to me? a martyr regardless of victory an angel from heaven found on earth sent for secret religious work a pietist of this earth born alone in piety oft forlorn a glorified soul for reasons uncertain purpose obscured behind glorious curtain
or a loved one supporting home and hearth trusted reliable always steadfast a good person who generally tries hard from heaven no guarantee not to be barred
Angel carry your heavy payload until god asks for it one day Angel bitter, discard your halo throw it worlds away
Angel fly to heaven above dive to hell below Angel receive peace from a dove or scavenge it from a crow
Angel weep soul deep until your very last breath Angel sleep the long sleep pray yourself to death
Angel just Angel lust Angel thrust Angel sing Angel cling Angel wring Angel must Angel bust Angel dust Angel wing left wing right wing broken wing
Angel nothing
The dVerse prompts from Melissa today were inspired by Kurt Cobain’s birthday. I chose to take one line from a Nirvana song and reflect on the feelings that might drive a suicide. It was a harrowing exercise and I am sorry if it causes hurt. https://dversepoets.com/2024/02/20/happy-birthday-kurt🎉/
