Vision of loveliness
reaching out for me,
familiar smile
on the face of a stranger.

Angelic beauty
soothing my brow,
familiar touch
from the hands of a stranger.

Eternal youth
singing me a lullabye,
familiar voice
from the lips of a stranger.

Unconditional love
holding me close,
familiar comfort
from the arms of a stranger.

Glorious angel
watching over me,
familiar soul
from the heart of my grandmother.

Dedicated with love to 
Grandma Marjorie,
whom I barely knew,
and yet recognize
her watching over me every day.

I see no wings or flowered hair
or radiant light as they stand there.
In angels that I’ve seen and known
their beauty comes from inner glow.

They do not hide themselves from view;
they show their love in all they do.
Rich or poor, young or old...
they hold a wealth much more than gold.

Compassion’s tear, a giving hand;
respect for all who grace this land.
A piece of God’s great light to share;
a soul at peace, a heart that cares.

The Angel of Love, and Life, and Dreams
listens carefully for prayers and screams
she spreads her wings upon the wind
journeys to Earth, then back again
To rest in the Heavens, in the clouds above
to listen for voices that call out for Love
Anguished pleas for guidance in Life
directing Souls away from the strife
Those without dreams, and lost without hope
a Light in the darkness to help them to cope
Every Soul who has been touched by Her Light
finds themselves Lifted out of their plight
The positive Energy they then emit
to the Light of the Angel they can remit
And, in this way we are always One
with the Angel of Light as good deeds are done

An Angel bathed in Holy Light
With vestments pure of virginal white,
The doves of peace,around her seem
To reflect the joy of her radiant beam.
And yet, to know this seraphim
Allows more insight than when first I skim
The beauty that, to the world, she shows
And to me alone, am permitted to know.
The "Earthly" side of this heavenly soul
Is just as precious for me to behold.
The soft touch of kisses on my skin,
The warm carresses; my passions to begin.
The fire within her within loves throes,
The touch of paradise as our bodies enclose
These are gifts for me alone,
New seeds of love, To-gether sown.
And So, to all, an angel they see
The outward form of serenity.
But, the "whole" of her is mine to behold
And the rest of her life, my love enfolds.

If you were to look at me from the outside
of this aging holding shell
you'd be seeing me as if you were blind
because there is nothing there to tell.

If you were to look deep inside of my mind
you'd see everything that I know
but you wouldn't see what makes me shine
or what lies inside of this soul.

You can tell by the way that I sling my talk
that my education is low
and you can tell by the way that I strut my walk
that I'm hurried and anxious to go.

But if you were to look inside from the start
then I know you would understand
you could tell by the love that pours from my heart
the person that I really am.

So if you really want to know me
look deep and you shall find
everything that you're looking to see
the only me, that's who I am, on the inside.

As the doves fly
And my wings spread
Lifting ever higher
Upon the shining dreams

Up to the clouds
Above the shining waters
To the heavens of love
Upon the wings of happiness

No more the searching
Having found joy
Leading the way to happiness
Leading the way to love

Now it begins
This is the start
Above will it shine
For now love is mine

As the doves fly
And my wings spread
Lifting me ever higher
Upon the shining dreams

 When tired eyes close to open no more
 upon these earthly, sea swept shores.
 Just what will greet me upon my final breath?

 According to the Biblical text-
 Splendor awaits the repentant soul,
 for within each and every fold
 those truths are there for all to take, to hold.
 I ask for answers that perhaps I shouldn't know?
 Just what will greet me when this life is no more?

 Never worthy, am I, of any grace
 a commoner in a worldly, rat-crazed race.
 Held blameless before the majority of man
 although never sinless, just as I am.

 An angel bids me welcome
 arms stretched, open wide
 with a patient, tranquil stare.
 [Was this perhaps the guardian
 designated to watch over me
 during my life's twisted, adventurous journey?
 Dare I ask where my soul will be
 for I was always in His hands.

 May I, if taken back, find
 refuge again in the heaven's above.
 Worthy am I of His endless, eternal Love?

Far above the evening mist, in a state of grace,
The flaxen haired goddess, Venus, rises,
Her brilliance superseded only by the sun.

Transcending the spirits of mortal men.
And in the presence of the alabaster dove of peace,
She speaks of the enlightenment of the human soul.

Mistake not this gossamer winged apparition
For the Madonna, she is not.
Rather ponder her magnificence and splendor,
And her part in the grand scheme, the blueprint of the universe.

While in contrast Orpheus descends,
No longer poet laureate, nor lyre player.
He stalks the dark, empty corridors.
In search of Eurydice, his bride.

The gentle voice of Venus guides his pursuit.
For she knows in time he will acquiesce, without acrimony,
As yet he again approaches this citadel,
She makes only one plea on his behalf.
May his path always be illuminated.

The sun went down
Into the ground
Just past noon
And there was no sign of the moon
The town began to talk
The trees uprooted and started to walk
Water, people and houses alike
Could sense something just wasn't right
The sky turned to a midnight blue
And  a thousand people stood confused
As an image did appear
They knew something tragic was near
The image of an angel opened her hand
To let doves circle the land
Then called them back with graceful motions
The whole town stood mesmerized by her actions
She opened her mouth to speak of danger
Through muted words they could not hear her
A tear of blood soon fell from her eye
And they all knew that it was time
The sun had risen its final morn
And no more children were to be born
As the blood hit the earth
Tidal waves formed in the dirt
And with a sweep of her gentle hand
There was nothing left of the land
Epic Myst©

Come walk on the edge with me
I'll take you to a place where angels sing
Come walk on the edge with me
I'll take you where you can't be seen
Take a walk on the edge with me
I'll show you life and its meaning

Close your eyes and trust me
As He proclaims His love for you
Close your eyes and trust me
When He leads the trail for you
If you close your eyes and trust me
There is nothing together you can't do

He won't let you fall
When the rain starts to pour
He won't let you fall
In your darkest hour
He would never let you fall
As long as it is in my power

Let Him lay down and die for you
When you think you just can't fight
Let Him lay down and die for you
When things aren't going right
He will die for you
When the sky falls down tonight

Trust me when I tell you
His love is forever
Trust me when I tell you
You will always be together
Just trust me when I tell you
I was sent by the Holy Father
Epic Myst©

She comes to me in dreams.
She comes to me in visions.
What is she telling me?
Am I wise enough to listen?

So many choices to make,
So many roads to follow.
What is she telling me
About my tomorrow?

Hush now, and listen.
Sleep now and dream.
Listen to the voice inside,
What does it mean?

The Angel of my Higher Self,
She remembers all before.
What's been done and what has not
In all the times of yore.

So, listen, listen if I'm able
To this gift of  knowledge.
She will help me through my life
If I hold fast to my courage.

Life's not always easy.
Life's not always fair.
Listen to the voice within
Listen, if you dare.

Somewhere in this universe
high above the clouds
Surrounded by doves
sending us peace and love
She calms our fears
and dries our tears
Giving us hope
in our darkest hours
Who is this angel
Who sent her to us
Where is she from
Can she teach us to trust
We close our eyes
Giving thanks she is ours

I am five years old and I am dying
My soul wants freedom, I feel like crying
But I have no energy left in me
I have fought a long battle with cancer, you see
Today is my birthday, my friends are all here
It's nice to know my loved ones are near
But when I collapsed mom sent them away
The party was over, they couldn't stay
Now I lie upon my bed, growing weaker still
Holding on to this life purely by the strength of will
I'm scared to let go, but not for me
I'm worried about my parents, you see
Will they be able to carry on
With their life once I am gone
I must go, I cannot stay
An angel has come to take me away
She appears with an escort of the dove
Surrounded by the essence of love
I know my parents will be all right
God will keep them in His light
I can go now, I am at peace
My body shall die, but my soul will never cease

Mercy be her name on the lips of all lost souls
As to their emptiness and sorrow she consoles
Yellow strands of spun gold and light be her hair
Its radiance a corona to which nothing can compare
Her eyes hold the look of fiery anger long gone cold
They look right through you yet see everything untold
Porcelain like her features of tenderness and grace
With wisdom and hardship also etched on her face
A cloud of mist swirls to enshrouds her from neck to toe
Almost turning translucent at time letting her body show
Held aloft on angel wings she floats as if heaven bound
While Gods good graces shine on the faces of all on the ground
An image of hope and faith, she appears to the spiritually weak
For it is with her guidance that the earth shall come to the meek
