Destiny
They deliver the edicts of God
Without delay
And are exempt from apprehension
From detention
And with their God-given
Petasus, Caduceus, and Talaria
Ferry like bolts of lightning
Unhindered between the tribunals
Of Space & Time
The Messenger-Spirit
In human flesh
Is assigned a dependable,
Self-reliant, versatile,
Thoroughly poet existence
Upon its sojourn in life
It does not knock
Or ring the bell
Or telephone
When the Messenger-Spirit
Comes to your door
Though locked
It’ll enter like an electric midwife
And deliver the message
There is no tell
Throughout the ages
That a Messenger-Spirit
Ever stumbled into darkness
