Night Angel

Night Angel

As day fades to night
my thoughts turn to you
hoping you will appear
guiding me safely
through the night to fly
high in the midnight sky.

You’re iridescence lights my way,
Where the darkness and shadows,
seem so ominous.
You come only at night
on the evening breeze.

The delicate scent of lilacs
accompany your arrival.
Your gentle breezes sooths
the voices spinning in my head.
Calming my rapidly beating heart.
As I drift into the land
of surreal images and puzzles.

By the moons glow,
your wings carry me,
if only temporarily
to a place of safety
and soft edges.

Away from the sharp
glass of reality.
Where I cut my self
often.
