Four Angels
© G. LaMonte 11/2012

Four angels I called, I commanded
Four angels I called open-handed
And open-armed I stood in a circle of my own
I offered prayers and incense and climbed upon my throne
Arrogant and able, a magician fully grown
Four angels I called and they appeared

Four angels I called and they guarded
Four angels I called and they warded
I was safe within their arms to sleep and cast about
I would not fear the changes or the world that loomed without
‘Til the granite ‘round my heart – it cracked – and still I held no doubt
Four angels I called and they drew near

Raphael, my wings
Gabriel, my breast
Michael, my desire
Auriel, my rest
Tikkun, tikkun, tikkun haNefesh
Tikkun, tikkun, tikkun haNefesh

Four angels I called, I am your Master
Four angels I called, and I heard laughter
That thundered and burned low, and rang within my ears
Shook me to my bones in humility and fear
I collapsed upon the earth and shed a million tears
Four angels I wept, make me whole
Raphael, my wings
Gabriel, my breast
Michael, my desire
Auriel, my rest
Tikkun, tikkun, tikkun haNefesh
Tikkun, tikkun, tikkun haNefesh

Four angels I called, will you align me
Four angels I called, will you define me
They left me to my work through the darkest of my days
Never doubted for a moment that they would light my way
Rose upon my feet, destroyed the bound’ries I had raised
Four angels I called, and we were One

Raphael, my wings
Gabriel, my breast
Michael, my desire
Auriel, my rest
Tikkun, tikkun, tikkun haNefesh
Tikkun, tikkun, tikkun haNefesh
