Angel

Angel

I watched an angel as he spread his wings
He offered me all the peace that divinity brings

He had a beauty that did not come from earth
Showered me with jewels of joy and mirth

He touched me with his healing hands
Made me castles from beaches of sand

He touched my heart and made me see
There was nothing more but just to be

Together we climbed many fences
And broke through all life’s pretences

He put me on a straight and narrow road
Lightened the weight of the problems I towed

Took my mind on a journey to distant places
Brought me beautiful flowers to fill my vases

We walked through space and approached Mars
He lovingly gave my name to a wishing star

He exemplified true love and genuine compassion
Taught me to continue my life with a sense of passion

When I was cold he wrapped me in his wings
Taught me not to put energy into unnecessary things

He often warmed me with his heavenly glow
Filled me with a brilliance I will always know

Gave me strength to make it on my own
All I have is his memory for he’s gone home

Nothing so beautiful can last forever
But our ties will never truly be severed

He brought the light to my darkened path
Now I only look forward and no longer look back
