Tethered feathers sing their long lost songs in solos that were once symphonies Falling from swan-like wings of a lone angel and floating along a reflecting stream The misty haze graces both water's surface and the resting angel's skin Making the glow from her shining halo all the more evident
See as she sits inside the arms of an elderly weeping willow Fireflies gracing her satin hand as the glow from her skin does billow The natural string quartet of the crickets under a full moon's glow A silent moment in a place and time that mortals may never know
Looking upon the star studded sky that is her open field Flying with the grace of many a dove whose untamed beauty shall not yeild Yet landing on dirt ridden ground to see whatever it is she may please Trickling tears coming from your eyes at the sight of such travesties
Oh angel, if feather must fall, then let it, but not one tear from your eye At this hallowed sight and glorious eve where Heaven and Earth coincide And if tear must fall into the waters under the arm of the willow tree May it harden into the whitest of pearls so I might keep it here with me
Let sultry glowing moonlight be your constant company Filling the darkness and contributing spotlight to your scene May silver moonlight and silken feather compliment each detail And pray the moon does not fade away and break this scene, so frail
Dear hallowed breath of the midnight hour, take note of this rare time So you may utter this instant in this poet's ear and turn it to hallowed rhyme The instance where an host of Heaven indulged in a glimpse of Earth And with a tear turned into a pearl showed what our instances are worth
