I've never seen an angel's toe
laced in golden thong.

But I have seen the devil's hand
in every deed that's wrong.

Where is the harp, the flute, and fife
to play me through this silent life?

If only God would breathe in me
a deeper faith to set me free,

I'd drop my burdens gratefully
and walk the shores I cannot see.

Hi Merle ... er, Robin?

We met briefly last year and I recall being very impressed with your style. I'm glad I returned to find you still here, because reading this lovely poem reminds me that my soul needs regular interaction with gifted poets. Thank you!

Would you consider "entwined" ILO "laced" for meter's sake? Either way, it's a three-thumbs-upper.

Mary
