Nameless Angel

She carries me higher

 

Lifting me past the clouds

 

Beyond anywhere I've been before

 

Higher we fly as the moments pass

 

I gaze longingly

 

Watching her every move

 

Hopelessly waiting for recognition

 

For her to feel my presence

 

This blissful trip has taken us to a new place

 

Never ending abyss, filled with twinkling lights

 

Surrounded by stars I feel myself shrinking

 

Beauty casting shadows of doubt

 

She's finally home

 

Too big for the place we left behind

 

A place that had felt too big me

 

"Now departing all return falls"

 

Slowly reaching my hand out

 

To place it upon an angel's wings

 

But she's just out of reach as I begin to descend

 

Slowly returning to the taciturn world

 

Too recently I found myself absent from

 

I attempt to call out her name

 

But no words are released from my lips

 

An unfamiliar angel without a name

 

Without even a glimpse of her face

 

She never even knew I existed

 

So closely I followed, for so long

 

Finding myself left falling

 

No one around to catch me

 

Picking up speed at too quick a pace

 

Why people fear the fall

 

I never understood

 

A magically peaceful time

 

The weight lifted from the heart

 

Like a feather the soul softly flies

 

How this magnificent ride ends brings worry

 

For the fall may be sweet, sorrowful ecstasy

 

But the landing may shatter what remains of me
