i’ve seen an angel

A great impossible thing
Plummeting, landing at my feet
When i saw that blinding ring
I was rendered obsolete.

It knew everything, i knew nothing
I wanted a blinding ring too
I was put on this earth to be something
But the ground is not mine, so up i flew.

I grazed the sky, but i saw no light
I had no halo, a trick of the mind
What i saw was a star in flight
There is no god, I’ve been led blind.
