Dressed In Moonlight

Haloed by star dust,

dressed in moonlight, 

dancing beneath the star lit sky

a small silver winged angel prays 

for all those she passes by.

With each prayer she bestows 

her radiant beauty more brightly glows.

Her wing span becomes longer 

and her feathers extend farther.

Soon she flutters upon the water 

gracing the surface with the tips of her toes.

Where she is going no one knows.

With each prayer answered her 

body becomes more illuminated 

and she takes to flight.

While she flies over roof tops 

she shares through your dreams her delight.

When dusk turns into dawn 

her legs and feet become like a bird

and her body becomes fully feathered 

in colors of blue and white.

Her head is crested and she grows 

a slender beak ever so slight.

As the sun rises she begins to chirp

 and the flowers awaken 

from their nightly slumber.

Greenery soaks in the sun rays

lavished with splendor.

She perches outside my window 

and sings her joyous song.

Many other birds follow along.

I wake to the promise of a new day

and my troubles melt away.
