A Little Below the Angels

You were there In the light of an August moon Sitting in a field of the night’s blossoms The air around you glowed An aura of love, peace and hope Distant stars shimmer in your eyes There is something about you Something ethereal Although you are sentenced to a life on Earth You do not belong here There is a magic around you That even you cannot see Although you may not be perfect Your soul is unique among mortals Above all those around you You belong just a little below the angels

Wow, Robert! What a treasure you have here. This poem is the reason I enjoy Poetry Soup. Sometimes a true gem emerges. What a special person this must be for you to see her/him as "just a little below the angels." Captivating poem! Love, Carolyn
