An Angel Speaks

(A lone voice whispers)

Do you ever feel me 

As you anxiously sleep

Touching your mind 

To open a portal

To gently

Creep in

To cross The Great In-Between

As your soul quietly weeps

Sliding silently between warm arms

To wipe away 

All those wet tears 

You've once cried

Filled with harm

To soothe your spirit

From the outside 

And inside

But as soon as the cockerel starts to crow

Under the gaze of the early morning sun

I just fly or run 

To disappear into the Dreamy Ether

Of The Great Divide

To pray with your loved ones

And speak in tongues

To send you strength

Before you too hear the 

Golden Drum

And arrive 

To open arms

After you've hit your last 

Home run
