What to do When you Meet an Angel
Do not look upon them. Cover your eyes, wrap them in cloth, keep them closed, for the light of their face will blind you
You will know they are near by the smell of burning metal. They are growing closer. This is your chance to run.
They will tell you not to be afraid. Do not listen to them. Being afraid is the only way you will stay alive.
Remember, these are beings beyond your comprehension. Their wings go on for miles and their bodies are not real.
You will know something is not quite right about the faces they wear. They do not have eyelids and you will not be able to tell where the mouth is. Their skin will be like polished stone and there will not be a blemish to be seen. Do not ask them to remove these masks and do not ask them why they are crying.
They will not mean to hurt you. They will take you into their wings to give you comfort. Do not let them or you will not find your way out again
They will sing for you. They so do love to sing and as the bellowing of the Heavenly Host fills your mind, your ears will begin to bleed. The song is beautiful and it has deafened you but you can still hear it. They continue to howl their hymns, not understanding that you wail in pain not in joy.
Be careful not to touch them. If looking upon them can blind you, imagine what touching such a body would do to you.
They are vengeful and righteous. Though they are beautiful, they are still warriors and will not hesitate to smite you.
Their compassion is just as dangerous. They will try to save your soul by ripping it from your mortal body. They will give you all the knowledge of the world. They will fill your body with their grace until you burn up from the inside out. They think they are doing you a kindness.
They do not understand you. You are a mystery to them. Some find you repulsive while others find you resplendent. Both sides are equally dangerous. Be wary.
