Angels

When does an angel comes visit you? When you least expect them to.

When they come, what do you do? Pray.

Found this photo that I took while stopping at a traffic light at Gelang Patah. At that moment, when both my gf and I caught it, I thought, what an angel it is. It doesn’t even move and posed for me to take picture.

Butterfly

Sorry if it’s not very sharp (iPhone la… haven’t buy 4S)

This tiny little butterfly, standing on my side mirror, what an angel. I pray. I pray for happiness and purposefulness. But will this angel forsake me when I come to call with life’s treacherous circumstances?

Reminds me of an old song. Not sure where’s the philwinds recording, but here’s the midi version (scorch required).

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we’re grey and old
coz I’ve been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I’m lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When I’m feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know I’ll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I’m right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When the light turned green, I was called upon. When I turned around, I knew, without that much skipping a beat, who my angel was. I will go on to pursue dreams, make friends, create purpose, and so on, but when I need to pray, when I’m tired, I will go to my angel, and be blessed with love.

No salvation needed.

  1. This is so beautifully written. And I think it comes apt at a time when one of the most important living person passes away. He will always be an angel in my heart that I will come to remember whenever life deals a bad card.
