When I was young I had a dream <br />A vision of perfection seen <br />A miracle of female grace <br />Heaven sent, an angel’s face. <br /> <br />The image filled my heart and mind <br />And through my life I longed to find <br />The woman of that holy night <br />When I was blessed with such a sight. <br /> <br />The world I searched and breathless saw <br />Steep mountain peaks, cruel jagged shore, <br />Harsh highland hills, white river’s run, <br />Cool arctic moon, hot desert sun. <br /> <br />Dry planes so wide, lush valleys deep, <br />Rich palaces and ragged keeps, <br />Night sky so black, fresh snow so white, <br />Deep caverns dark and cities bright. <br /> <br />Fair beaches warm, fierce oceans cold, <br />Wild orchids young, great forests old, <br />New widows’ tears and new borns’ cries, <br />Pear shaped pearls and burning skies! <br /> <br />Yet nothing took my breath away <br />Quite like your smile that golden day <br />For there at last, my vision true, <br />That angel’s face belonged to you. <br /> <br />(May 2005)<br /><br />Charles Wiles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-angel-s-face-best-love-poems/
