Comes An Angel's Light

The moon shadows the trees
faltering my thoughts as
gray and blue 
starbright falls in my  window.

I am alone.
I am alone.

Hungry for talk but
fearful of touch.
The taking of souls;
bitterness of the past
threatens me like
a thief in the night.

I am afraid.
I am afraid.

Yet as the silence deepens
and darkens my view
there flies an angel and I am
swept away in magnificent light.

I am alright.
I am alright.
