This is very good poem. It reminds me of the classic poem "Paradise Lost" as the subject of the poem seems to be a fallen Angel. I like the contrast between the third and last stanza of this poem. The first is all light while the last deals with shadows.

There are some really nice refrains and I like how the Angel is called to in the beginning of each stanza and there is a note on the character's current state beginning with "Oh, how..." for each Stanza ending line. There is also clear awareness of the syllable count of each line as each as they match up correctly in each stanza. It makes this poem so much smoother to read.

The verbal description is very good. You can picture the the three phases the Angel in this story goes through really well.

There appears to be a slight typo in the first line of the final Stanza. I think the word should be Stricken

Other than that this is a really excellent poem!!
