She stood facing
the fading sunlight.
High on a hill
beautiful and serene.
The backlight a halo
Around her golden hair.

She told me
she was a fallen angel.
And her wings
had been taken away.

She said she would
teach me how to fly one day.
It was a sad
yet beautiful untruth.

She held out her arms
and enfolded me in them.
The beautiful fallen angel
with the sunlit hair
and eyes as blue
as a summer sky.

The only one
In this wide world.
who can make
my lonely heart sing.
