An angel with butterfly wings, <br />gossamer touch of beautiful things. <br />A satin sash and golden rings, <br />life is a wonderful thing. <br /> <br />The scarlet touch as sunset dies, <br />behold the world is full of lies. <br />The angel spreads its wings and flies, <br />to everyone’s breathless sighs. <br /> <br />The shadow of reason clouds our mind. <br />Where are we in ageless time? <br />Oh, behold my wonderful find, <br />the reason for living given in this sign. <br /> <br />Step back from this perilous world, <br />and let the beauties at your feet unfold. <br />Gaze upon the wealth untold, <br />of arms stretched out for you to hold. <br /> <br />Look around at things you’ve done, <br />at pleasures you have found, <br />and seek the soft and sandy ground, <br />where lies the happy children sounds.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/angel-and-beauty/
