Angel (Revisited) Poem by Siobhan Niven

When the twilight blankets the earth, and solitude surrounds;
Search the twinkling heavens, an angel may be found.
 
Disoriented in the wild, your compass gone ape;
Focus, observe, trust; there are places to escape.
 
Acknowledge within you, your heart's strength,
which can help you overcome.

But I know that your heart is breaking, I know that your mind is aching;
Tortured and fractured from all that's come before.
 
And you will light upon, a brighter day, and your strength will persevere.

Because the love that is inside you, and passion's intensity can blind you.
Kintsugi, upon your fractured soul.
 
No matter what occurs, remain undeterred, standing tall.
Be strong! Tighten your grip, impede the fall.

As you are my beacon of light, lighthouse in the storm;
The light ablaze within me, the fire that keeps me warm.
 
Distance unmeaning, you are a permanent fixture.
In both my mind and heart combined.
 
So, look for that shining star, witness it's glow and know,
your Angel is near;
 
She's full of love for you, her nose a brilliant blue, a proud and loyal hue,
Her wings are glistening gold; she's got a story to be told.
 
If you ask, she'll find her strength, help you at any length;
She may be lost too, but her entirety belongs to you.
 
She'll reach out her hand, you'll take hold;
Safe in her embrace; the stories told, the truth displayed.
 
And she'll think of you at night, when she turns out the light.
When she fades into sleep, your memory she'll keep.
 
She'll smile a smile that makes you smile forever;
 
And you'll be happy, enshrouded in serenity.
