As the ashes fall around us

 

And the bitter end comes nigh

 

We lose all hope

 

And cease to cope

 

Emotions flare up high

 

 

Amidst of all the turmoil

 

An angel strides afront

 

It holds in hands

 

The fate of lands

 

Unnoticed by the blunt

 

 

It offers all the living

 

To the eternal mage

 

And so we all

 

See as we fall

 

The dawn of yet an age

Very biblical, apocalyptical. But unlikely if we all start to pull together and honor our planet as our source rather than some alien source of life out there.

We are all going through some kind of transition, especially in times of pandemics, our lives are not guaranteed. I am an anti-vaccine person, so my life is not guaranteed one way or another. Look at what's happening in Kentucky and around the world. No one's life is being guaranteed, for sure. I am just living one day at a time, just doing the things that please me. I have learned to find ways to entertain myself and others during this awful pandemic time. We've got to do this for ourselves because no one else will.

Great poem! Your poems always deliver to your readers some points to ponder.

I like how clearly these words form an impression and a vision, but the strength of this, I think, is the profound ‘event’ this describes. There is music to the lines, as they tell a story, beginning, middle, end, beginning. Best read aloud, there is grace in the words themselves. And I had to look up ‘mage,’ so thanks for increasing my vocabulary. “Unnoticed by the blunt,” makes the word ‘blunt’ become descriptive of ‘unaware individuals.’ I like that. ~~ djl

Times of transition are always difficult. Nicely expressed in this brief poem.
