Analysis of The angelic rhelm.
If all were angels and no man to aid
How would the angels spend all of their days
No demons to hunt to guardeth the dead
Only feathered world to lay their head
An alliance of angels who's hearts never bled.
Who's eyes even purer than ours ever led saw only God asleep in his bed.
Who's flight on own chorus cleansed and rose air.
A rhelm where breath never burdened their care.
Where angels were at peace with all that they are, all that they will be nearer or far.
Would they need sleep to dreameth of man.
A nightmare to forget. A dream land.
An am?
Then would they wake up the God of slumber.
To compare them to life that God set asunder.
