When The Sun Illuminates The Sapphire Sky Poem by alan brown

I dreamed I saw an Angel
with wings as bright as snow.
Gliding down towards me
with bright blue eyes aglow.

She told me of a city
that no man had ever seen.
And took my by my shaking hand
to show me what she'd mean.

We glided over mountains
and over deep blue sea.
Until we came upon the spot
that she wanted me to see.

In my eyes it was no city
with such a fiery glow
But a place of Eire wonder
that made my heart beat slow.

We hovered over buildings
as white as a new fall of snow
With children running among them
with faces all aglow.

She took me to a courtyard
and then released my hand.
And it was at that very moment
That I started to understand.

This was not a part of heaven
or a strange and distant land
But a moment in my life on earth
that I thought had passed me by.

So the next time you are dreaming
just look up very high
And see the world a changing
When the Sun Illuminates on a Sapphire sky.
