An angel once <br />With eyes that gaze with love <br />Lips that speaks of goodness <br />Whose words and acts are blessed <br />Her voice as melodious as cherubs singing <br />In every heart, lightly caressing. <br /> <br />Days passed, from dawn until dusk <br />Spending time beside the silent water <br />Seeing her reflections, was so clear <br />Her halo, flickering, slowly fading <br />Her mind's seeking, soul's reflecting. <br /> <br />Seeking for guidance from heaven above <br />She took a chance to gaze at the sky <br />Walking away from neon lights <br />Turning away from tempting world and lies <br />She ended her dreams of earthly desires <br />To yield back her halo, she cries. <br /> <br />Unnoticed, one day she woke up <br />A light filled the room, glistening <br />Like fireflies that are playing, flickering <br />Running down to that silent water, she goes <br />Watching her reflection, she danced merrily <br />Above her head, her halo glistened steadily. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_mAia_ <br />092109 <br />11: 25pm<br /><br />Maia Padua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-angel-once/
