Archangel

Grace compeling me to approach. 
Escape the darkness; its whispers, 
that soft tone. Lingering shadows, 
a past that plagues my candle lit
memories; they fade. 

Fear for the loss, her beauty was 
so punishing. Closer and closer, it
began to clear. A stone statue, in
front of me appeared. She was there, 
I knew her. 

Astonished, I gasped! Stone turned
and base cracked. Blinding light, 
shadows no more; the darkness consumed. 
Golden lady in white, held out her
hand. Hesitantly, I took it. 

Engulfed in passionate flames, the 
happiness, the joy; a fallen one
she was. We are a Soul, entombed in 
a body of two. It was her whispers, 
that soft tone.
