Shining with anticipation.
I stood alone
In the empty field
A gentle wind at my back.
A single thought
Goes through my head
"something is about to happen."
A thought of doubt
Stirs in my head
Along with an unnamed fear.
But I cannot deny
My heart any longer
The love that tears me apart.
A pillar of light
Falls from the heavens
Directly above my head.
An eerie lightness
Comes over me
And I see that I am floating.
I rise up
Inside the light
And am gently whisked away.
I open my eyes
And look around
I am no longer on earth.
I look around
then up to the heavens
And twin moons hang in the sky.
I fear I do not
Know the place
But I feel a sense of belonging.
I begin to wonder
And begin to worry
As a tear escapes my eye.
No more will I see
My dear friends
Or the old life I hold so dear.
I hear a rustle of leaves
From behind
I gasp and turn to see.
A young man
Of around my years
Approaches in the moonlight.
His red eyes
Gaze at me
As he stares in utter amazement.
In years I have not
Laid eyes on him
And yet I know the face.
The jet-black hair
The gentle eyes
I know in an instant it's him.
He looks at me
Daring to believe
As recognition plays across his face.
I wonder how
He came so fast
Or if fate placed me close by.
I run to him
As we happily embrace
A reunion between lost loves.
As we look at each other
Our hearts beat as one
Vowing never to be separated again.
A beautiful pair
Of angelic wings
Form from his strong back.
He smiles knowingly
And holds me close
And tells me to believe
I dare to hope
and I dare to dream
But I have waning doubts
I trust my love
And wish it so
And I feel something at my back.
A twinge of pain
Shoots down my spine
But only for an instant.
For I look into his eyes
And feel his love
Strong enough to suppress fear.
I feel something
Growing from my shoulders.
And I look to confirm my thoughts.
A delicate pair
Of pure white wings
Float gracefully behind me.
My love turns
And gently whispers
"I never stopped loving you."
Those simple words
Send my heart soaring
And my eyes begin to water.
He starts to float
On soft white wings
And beckons me to come.
I want to follow
But in my mind
I fear of falling and failing.
Understanding plays
Across his face
Saying "I won't let you fall"
I fly up to him
Cautiously at first
But slowly I gain confidence
He smiles at me
As I take his hand
And fly off into the stars.
And together the angel
Leads me home
To the place where I belong.
