There was a poem in my head
As I woke up this morning
I tried writing it at breakfast
But lost it by noon

I walked through the garden
In the hopes that I
May find a trace of it hiding
By a flower or a fountain

It talked of two angels
And a hunger for love
And a smile that had the glory
Of the planets above

By evening I left
The university disjointed
And went looking for company
In a church assembly

And there I met a friend
Who I lost years back
And slowly I let my heart sink
Into the sea of warm regards

We talked and exchanged smiles
Like newly formed planets around
The same star; A shared understanding
Of the night’s meaning

My friend soon left, and I did too
And I walked slowly home
With an angel in my heart
And a newly written poem
