They

They block the wind,
And even on their oldest days,
Tired and weak,
When I am around,
They remain strong for me.

Fate explains that these things were
Meant to happen since the beginning of time.
Change knows we were just
In the right place
At the right time.

They Devil has me fooled,
But oh!
They have fooled the Devil.
They are attached to the mind of an angel;
The Devil's traitor.

They cradle my dreams and smooth out
The wrinkles
With a gentleness that I may never have.
But the angel,
Once so confused,
Has killed my heart along the path to righteousness.
To love.

They are filled with mysterious drawings
That I can never make out.
The alpha and omega.
The king and a crown.

Those arms, those arms,
You see.
They are all that's left to love me.
