My Angel Poem by Shirley Harrison

And just like that

once again, she was here

her glow, warmer than it's ever been

my cold trembling hands

now still, almost as if

they were paying attention

to what was in my room

and the light, so bright

as if this time, she had brought down from the sky

a thousand stars to comfort me

my eyes closed of course

but I knew, I just knew

because

she told me, the last time she came

she promised, next time

she would bring something

incredibly special with her

and she did

and of course, as I always do

once she leaves

I reflect on the moment

and on the miracle

that has graced my side once again

and all I can imagine

is…

this wonderful universe really is, full of life.
