The Angel’s Words of Change
I hear you whispering the words in my ear,
I feel your breath tingle on my cheek
because you are so near.
An angel from the universe,
your words are like a kiss
spoken with love that I’ve never heard.
You call to me in the late of the evening,
When the moon arises on high,
I try to close my eyes
to sleep away the reminders you bring.
Your words stay in my heart,
you won’t let me forget anything.
You call to me with song
that runs through my veins
as I feel every tune
every note,
The words,
you won’t let me get them wrong.
I am not sure why you have chosen me,
you make me bow to you like a king
on bended knee.
But otherwise, I am your word warrior
writing down the words that you make my heart sing.
Messages that you share,
you want people to hear your words everywhere.
You tell me to speak the truth
to share the stories of the book,
of all the men and women like Ruth.
Dear angel,
I am here.
And sometimes the things you say,
they touch my heart,
as my eyes shed a tear.
I will share the truth like you say
But I can’t promise everyone will listen today.
Perhaps later, or maybe tomorrow
But it’s their hearts that are filled with so much sorrow.
All I can do is continue to write
and to share and speak.
And when the people bow their heads,
Perhaps with prayer,
Their hearts will change
and do right.

“Within the depths of our mind, we are battling the duel of light and darkness…good and evil…love and hate…” Between Light and Darkness is Ariana’s most recent collection of poetry… Cherry’s frequent message she delivers throughout her work is, “The journey through the darkness, back into the light.”
Her hope is to let others know that they won’t be in that place of darkness for long – that they indeed can reach the light once again…She also wants her readers to know – that – it is okay if they find themselves in that bleak blackness…Sometimes we feel guilty for going to that dark place – but it is necessary to conquer the demons that battle our souls….
Other books that Cherry has written include "Only If" and "Twisted Paths Poetry." Her epic tale, “Only If,” won the “Reader’s Favorite Award” and a 5 star review…and her collection, “Twisted Paths Poetry,” received a 5 star review from Realistic Poetry International.
She has been writing ever since she was a child. Some of her inspirations include Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, Stephen King, Emily Dickinson, Christopher Pike and Shel Silverstein.
Ariana writes a variety of genres: inspirational, humorous and horror – although writing horror is one of her favorites…. She was 12 years old when she read Poe for the very first time – which inspired her epic poetry tale, “Only If.“
During other parts of her free time, she enjoys taking photos and creating art. Her “day-jobs” include working as a church administrative aide and reporting for a local newspaper.
