Angel Eyes

She would lean into the water blue, to witness angel eyes, She would bend down close, and whisper then, and pray to have a friend So close they were, yet, ...still they lived a thousand worlds apart Each day she came and there she was... An angel would transcend... She would lie beside the water cool, and gently touch the glass The woodland pool, where hydrangeas grew, with mosses wet from dew She had seen her in the pool before…. There was comfort in her silent ways, her flowing hair, her gentle grace And with understanding eyes Her heart would yearn, but she never learned This angel was unknown A friend she made, was close inside A face that was her own
