Offering help with wings of hope, unfurled
No glowing golden halo encircles their head
But they give courage to those facing dread
Some have a gra...

On this radiant moment, a ceiling
of new moon beguiles the park-lane
where the breeze tosses its wings,

Katie wanders, her spirit free and bright.
White gold adorns her, a tale untold,
Glistening softly in the moon's gentle light.

In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.
