Angel Poem by rich lodato

mesmerized like a dear before headlights
time is backing up before your eyes
and all this while has led to this moment
and I can see now for miles and miles

brace yourself you're about to cross over
and i can taste the salt in this fear
there is no witness who can capture this drama
it's just as well it's how I went through life

in a moment all this pain will be over
a life time of breathing this air
that's all it takes to be rid of this trouble
what if I wake and I'm still here

the bedsheets soaked
the smell of sweat surrounds me
the course of this dream left on me
the sense of ending
the sense of beginning
how do I start so late in life

I want to be an Angel
I want to be an Arch Angel
I want to float above
and all the world will see me

I want to be a Angel
I want to be an ArcAngel
I want to float above
and all the world will see me
and all the world will see me
