Angel of Comfort

this breathless wind befalls tonight
a whispered voice upon my ear
an angel stands within the light
its wing it spans to catch my tear

my soul it speaks so it can hear
a tale of pain in mind alight
it offers comfort when it's near
then slowly spreads its wings in flight

As predicted, you're near the top (though maybe a bit lower than I expected). Just a lovely poem with perfect flow and rhythm. Smiles, Gershon
