I think some angels are sad

Because they make it their business

to hold the tears God weeps

when He fears that He has gone too far

but knows no way back.

That Aloneness

of having created that Vow

in Pre-eternity. . .

What if . . .

What if, what if, what if

Even He doesn’t know,

And She can’t contain . . .

Has the River Styx become too wide?

Are its banks overflowing and washing away the Innocents on either side?

Or will the Vow hold true?

Will all come right, at least until the next time?

Does Heaven know?
