Soulful angel

Soulful angel sitting atop this rock 
My melancholy wings slowly beating
Chin resting on fist and upraised knee
Artfully contrived pose of the thinker

Meditative, intently casual, poised
My deep mystic eyes smiling benevolently
Babbling inanities, unwitting crusader I
Proclaiming everything, knowing nothing

Looking up, my face awash in the sun's glory
Premonitions of wondrous endings consume me
Concealed serpents, yes, upright mammals, yes
Some day, STILL! we shall soar with the gods!
