The Angels Retreat

A cold and wet morning broke in the dreary month of November Water glistening on the ground, a gift from the English weather With such a smothering grey blanket rolling across the sky My spirit managed to keep me warm as my spirits were high An angel sent me a message, beaming through the clouds so grey An invitation to take her hand and join her on this day On a journey to a sky filled place full of winter wonderment On taking her hand and I know that she is truly heaven sent We travel the grey ribbon through the cold and wintery air Wet fields and valleys just pass by in a blur The questing fingers of both the wind and rain Were resisting our passing but our smiles remain Crossing rain swollen rivers brown and bursting their seams Forming tree dotted mirrors just like my beautiful dreams We fly hand in hand through the mist, through the miles As I fall into her eyes I'm warmed by her smiles Our destination approaches a warm and colourful retreat We are greeted with smiles and yet more angels I meet We dance and we capered to the tunes that she chose With a warmth deep inside and a wide smile that glows We moved to the streets and danced through winter crowds The light of these angels simply parted the clouds With the beat sounding behind and the frost just in ahead We danced and we spun 'til we were ready for bed Back in the warmth and the colour of the angels retreat I was curled with my angel upon the soft seat Resting from a day filled with mirth and with joy Never has there been a more joy filled boy The sun lost its fight and slowly slides to the ground We said our goodbyes to the new angel friends found Taking to the wing hand in hand we took flight We were homeward bound through a cold and dead night An orange ribbon our guide through a land of purple and black We followed it blindly and thus we took the wrong track Another little adventure through lands never before seen Having such fun in the places we’d never before been Descending from on high our feet touch the fields of home Smiling and warm both wondering when we will next roam She left this feeling inside me and I know it was sent from above These butterflies can't escape from me because I know I'm in love.
