Can angels experience regret?
I’m thinking specifically of the
fallen ones, the ones herded up
and driven over the edge of the
clouds because of their mutiny?
Do you think one or two or three
of them might’ve enjoyed it for
a season, because c’mon it is fun
for a while, but then missed the
comfort of foursquare and pearl?
I bet they were welcomed home
with feasting and singing but I
believe there was also a price of
return: the prodigal clippings.
But, you say, what about grace?
Well, I say, ask them, they know,
for they are the angels of mercy.
John Blase
