The Flight
While walking out my door one night
The hour was quite late
The sky was dark, no moonlight showed
T'was black, as black as slate
Yet, looking through the darkness
Of this silent, satin night
From somewhere just beyond the edge
A flame, a candlelight?
I sat alone and reminisced
About our long, yet loving life
About my role as husband
And yours of loving wife
A gentle waft of air that caused
A flutter in the night
It was as if upon that breeze
An Angel took to flight
It seems like it was yesterday
I boldly walked you home
Then thought about the loving times
Spent with you, all alone
I spoke into the darkness
Even though, we were alone
Yet there upon that whispered breeze
A sound spoke back, unknown
And yet at night, no one to hear
Your silent breaking heart
Soft tears slid down upon your cheek
Wet kisses in the dark
A cry of pain escaped your lips
Broke through the silent night
While Angels then prepared you
For your dark and silent flight
As morn began its' gentle break
A voice from up above?
Yea!, tis today I called for you
To tell you of my love
Come home to me, God spoke to her
No more you'll suffer pain
He'll hold your love within his heart
Until you meet again!
