An Angel

An angel 

On the way of my returning home from work 
I have seen an angel on the side ways of the road 
In the hours when the sun does not go to set 
And the moon does not wake up from her sleep 

What a scene it was like a wonderful dream 
From the masses she appears with a smile 
Eclipsing all the tiredness and the lethargy 
Of the day that I got imprinted on my face  

Her smile was like an overflowing cascade 
Falls and drops around some pearls and gems 
Upon the lands where hearts are being shattered 
From pressure and weights of life’s undue burden 

Surely they are the lakes shining in her two eyes 
With water still, calm and peace as she knows not 
 Worries, nor knows she any lie’s sadness and grief 
As she is a fairy, a fairy angel only of years five or six 

Her face is a face that symbolizes only pure and holy 
Innocence is written on her body as we get tattoos  
Yet very few have eyes to see and read them out 
But mine I find so keen to fallow and so keen to trail
