From The Heavens

I listened as the silence 

which once ruled the night, 

was replaced by the song

of a mocking bird in flight.

The stillness inviting 

so I sat there awhile and my

mind filled with memories

developed a smile. 

Time flashed before me 

from the years gone by 

and I sat there alone 

questioning" why?"

The visions before me

all but disappeared 

except the angel of love 

who whispered in my ear.

The gift from the heavens

sent down to you one day, 

with a simple hello 

a love story was made. 

Confused by the timing

I asked the angel " but why?"

and he responded quite quickly

" your souls were already entwined."

"How did that happen and how could 

it be if I had not met him and he 

had not met me? " The angel replied

" it is certainly true,  you conquered 

the distance and your love just grew. 

Summer thunder rolled on in and

no sign of raindrops in the wind,

the crickets still hummed and the 

birds still sang as the angel of love

began to fade.

I sat there awhile and not nearly alone

as my mind once more began to roam,

I gazed up at the starts to the moon bright

knowing very well you are here in my life.

I reached through the darkness

with your hand in mine 

knowing this path was of some

heaven scripted design. 

Wonderful, magical and 

beautiful as it can be, 

the love between us felt

like it was right out of 

a dream. 

I felt the warmth of your embrace

and I swear we were here face to face,

I no longer questioned what was to be

for I now know the heavens sent you 

down to me.
