Angel

Look into the face of your angel. 
See her reflection in the pool 
of your spirit. 
Linger with her there - let her waters cool you. 
Let her voice guide and calm you. 

Look into the face of your angel. 
Drift on her feathered wings and join in 
the chorus of her song - sing along. 
Float high above the clouds of 
matter, and matter more. 

Look into the face of your angel. 
Deep in the well of your soul - 
feel her there.  Swim in blissful tranquility. 
Rest a while languishing in 
the shared and sacred solitude. 

Look into the face of your angel. 
Trace the lines of her visage 
and touch the moistness of her 
luscious lips - 
The glass of the mirror is cold! 

She is you.  Within you. 
Without of you.  Spirit made matter - 
to matter.  A unity of belonging. 
A home for the soul and a garden 
of peace.  I saw her all along,  sang her song.
