The running of the angels

Every year the pageant is different.  Of course it is.  This year the angels took the cake.

The angels entered this morning

Stage center.

At rehearsal yesterday,

The angels appeared

In silence,

Surprised the Angel of the Lord

No end.

This morning

We had

The running of the angels.

Stage center.

They pounded

Toward the manger,

Haloes and wings

Bounced with every step.

The angels

Were not be missed.

First they were heard on high

From the choir loft,

Then came

The running of the angels.
