"Angel"

Post by **PinkBalloon** » August 2nd, 2013, 10:08 am

I found myself kneeling between
a simple wish and a gentle daydream.
He was hanging from seven rows of fairy lights:
A single soul dipped in the beauty of the night.

Like a floating lantern above a dark road,
he was shining with all the stars that heaven could hold.
An angel with his feet on the ground.
I was lost for words but finally found.

hello and welcome to The Poet Sanctuary! It is very nice to meet you. This is the first poem of yours I've read and I must tell you, I found it delightful! Such wonderful imagery! I liked these lines best:

Like a floating lantern above a dark road,
he was shining with all the stars that heaven could hold.

always, Cat

Beautiful, simple, and sparkling. I can feel the warmth here, that special warmth you always get at the beginning of something special.
