wings folded or spread
sculpted stone
marble bronze crystal
eyes closed gazing
up or down
hands in prayer
playing a lyre
standing kneeling
churches graveyards
idolized in murals
actually
they live and walk
in our midst
plainly dressed
maybe fancied up
speaking many tongues
called to deliver
messages
once
twice
sometimes more
warnings or promises
all too human
until they are called
