Angels Among Us

Carried by the evening winds

I heard the angel’s sigh,

Just a faint whisper

Echoing in the darkening sky.

Hidden among the falling snow

A feather, so white,

Tossed among the tumbling flakes

Glowing with a heavenly light.

I heard her joyful laughter

Above the sounds of the night,

Laughing with childish joy

Oh, sweet music of the night.

I saw a shimmer of light

From her golden halo, I know,

Alive with the dawn’s early light

Touched with a heavenly glow.

The rustling of her wings

As she prepared for flight,

Rose above the roaring winds

Calming them with her might.

Tangled among my white winter rose

Was a single strand of her hair,

Filled with such delight

She had knelt there.

There are angels among us,

Though we may never know.

Their presence a loving comfort,

As they silently come and go.
