Once upon a moonlit night
I witnessed an Angel in
soaring flight
Gently gliding on the cool
night breeze
Face of ivory with features
to please
And on his head, long hair
of spun gold
Ere' never before had I
been told
Such beauty beheld ever
could be
For the eyes of a mortal
granted to see
His wing span a silken
feathery kite
Adrift on air so graceful
and light
He looked at me through a
rose lipped smile
And beckoned to me to
stay a while
Then lifted his voice in
melodious song
Like the sound of violins,
as he floated along
In awe I stood ground under
the moon
Knowing I must be gone
all too soon
I longed to stay but
I had to return
For to stay with him meant
my life's adjourn
I whispered to him, "I cannot stay,
For I have loved ones along the way"
He looked back at me with
a tearful eye
And blew a kiss of gold dust
through the moonlit sky
Then wished me adieu saying
I should not fear
For perchance I would need him
he'd always be near
For many days I missed seeing
my angelical friend
But now I know beauty
awaits at the end.
