- Angelic -

  The sun, stars and moon came closer this misty morning
  when the angels were presented with sublime beauty
  they weren't lacking hymns or instruments of joy
  Shades breached the outline and absorbed the purity
  Earth born mortal souls did not fear for the sun's eternal beam

  Beauty from her soul beneath true archery wings
  Gentle breeze came riding down from heaven
  gurgling streams plucking the harp strings
  I knew then, she were from heaven sent
  Our hearts together, copied in sapphire-blue and opal
  as I look through my paper-thin wings
  a caterpillar on earth inherited the heavenly blessing
