winged seraphs of heaven

when i was a child, i truly sensed the presence of angels on my shoulder. i don't mean i believe that there were angels, because belief would infer faith. i just knew they were there, these shining presence, watching over me.

sometimes, i would close my eyes and feel them. whenever i sensed trouble, i could almost see them averting disasters away. whenever i was happy, my heart beamed a smile to them. i felt protected, i felt safe. thru-out my life, i have never had a broken bone in my body, never been in an accident, never befell upon a serious illness, thank god.

i haven't felt them much, lately. maybe they're a little tired of me. maybe they're just keeping a little distance from me. i just hope they'd come back, coz it's getting dark out here in my corner of the world.
