I saw her
just once
during the darkest of nights
as I walked from the house
to the garage.
She was just standing there
her hair dancing in the wind
yet it was a calm
windless night.
She was dressed
in a beautiful white dress
that the light of the moon
went right through.
There was no substance there.
Nothing
but a whisp
of what once was.
She moved
yet no part of her
touched the earth.
She floated
gently across the grass.
She smiled at me
then
just as fast as she appeared
she was gone.
I walk nightly now
in search of her
wanting
no wishing
to see her again.

A very beautiful and enchanting take
on this picture. It would be so amazing to
witness something such as that. I think
that sometimes we see these images of
angels as a wonderful reminder that we
are not alone in this awesome universe
that we call home. I love the imagery that
flows throughout this! Well done and good
luck to you here my friend!
