Dancing Angel Poem by James Casey

Dancing Angel

There was a light, I saw from here
So I headed round the bend
Struggling in the gloom, I reached the end
There in the darkness, I found my love

She danced with the beat of the wind
Keeping time and flying high
I gazed until I fell asleep
Then awoke with her at my feet

She calls my name, then
Calls me out to play, again
There she is dancing
Under lucent moonlit skies

Will there be endless nights of passion?
All filtered with the color grey?
Will we, in the moonlight night
Find our loves delight?

When the dawn broke
It swept the land so clear
She looked down at me
Then in a blink, she left me there...

She's calling my name again
Then calls me out to play
There, she is, once more dancing
Under those elegant moonlight skies

I could have seen her blaze
I could have seen her fly
But, all I beheld was her fall down
Flicker then I saw her die

I then awake in the bedroom
Not believing my eyes
Was it all just a bad dream?
A dream that went awry?

She calls me again, calls me out to play
She's dancing, dancing, dancing
Is she really here this time ?
Or just leading me, astray?
