Angel Series: Angel of Sorrow

I believe in angels.

Angels, are by definition divine beings, who have ascended into the heavens from mortality, due to self sacrifice, suffering or service, or beings who have been created by an Immortal entity, to serve His many needs, delivering His will unto the mortal realm.

There are many forms of Angels. In truth, there is but one Angel watching over each one of us. What form he shall take, depends on our own mood at the time, our actions and our life. It depends on what we want our Angel to be, in order to accurately depict our current status.

In the past, I have often send my Guardian Angel, to people I cared for and knew were in need. My Angel of Hope, my Angel of Courage, my Guiding Angel, to protect and to hold them.

Being without an Angel for too long, leads into sorrow, grief, isolation. Love your Angel, hold your Angel. Think of your Angel for he shall be always with you.
And at these silent moments, when your ears ring, welcome your Angel for he has come near, to let you know he is there. Offer him a sweet greeting, and heed the ringing. For it may be a warning, a greeting, or simply a way to state his presence around you.

I decided to make an Angels Series, picturing the many forms our Angels take. This is but the first of the series, the Angel of Sorrow.

The Angel of Sorrow, comes to us when we feel alone, sad and fragile. He comes to us, to share our Sorrow, and lift the burden from our souls into his. Suffering, so that we may elevate and recover from our ill temper, so that we may once again smile.

My skills in photomanipulation are pretty poor, so I decided to make this as simple as I could, in order to give the feeling, without making something that would appear genuine fake. I hope I managed that.

I would like to credit and link those who made this deviation possible:
For the poetic pose, the model stock image.
For the beautiful Glass stock.
For these fantastic Angel Wings brush.

Also, an Angel that returned to me recently, giving unto me both joy and sadness, hope and sorrow. I know she is an Angel, for only Angels can give us all these wonderful feelings.
