Laying there in the brightest of suns, I hear them urging me to sleep. So I curl and rest, Letting the warmth soothe me, Letting the light in all the way.
As I drift, they tell me that Sleeping this way, I'll wake up to angels.
And so I rest, But I cannot sleep. And yet, I open my eyes And notice immediately the flutter of a brown bird in the sky.
As he disappears, I see that he was But an index Leading my eyes upwards, To those above him in the sky.
And I know they are birds, But I know they are the angels too.
White, twinkling angel birds, Being sure to fly high enough that I have just as much a reason to call them birds, As I do to call them angels.
For are they not one in the same? Occupying the hight bright sky like that, I can distinguish no difference.
