A leaf broke away, spinning to the earth <br /> droplets of dew formed from unheralded sadness <br /> <br /> As the leaf spiraled downward, a beautiful angel <br /> plucked it from the air, admiring perfection. <br /> Divine breath pushed it high above her <br /> wafting upward, the leaf glistened. Rays of light <br /> gently tugged until forward motion was felt. <br /> Brightness arrived <br /> <br /> Pure love formed a golden aura as the leaf <br /> slowly turned, twinkling into a star. <br /> <br /> Past debts, discrimination and blind eyes, <br /> now become an illumines trove, <br /> all pain forgotten and forgiven.<br /><br />Sandra Hawkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-angel-tree/
