As an angel she lays

My heart fails as the muse kisses a tear

She looked peaceful lying there

The sun caressing every strand of her jet black hair

Tinted in hues of blue by the sun

So peaceful she lay

 

A single butterfly approached 

Dancing on the hint of a breeze

Stopping to rest on a bare shoulder

Barely casting a shadow

 

The blades of grass also danced in harmony with the breeze

Unknowing to the sonata of life that spun around

Yet she lay

So peaceful

 

I speak to her in whispers between the words

As if she could hear every one buried in roses

Lain on silken pillows of doubt

I let her know it will be alright

 

Let the sun sleep and the dark bring the night

Blue replaced by the gossamer tapestry of angels

In my hand I hold her everything

In my hand I hold a kiss

 

And in peace I close my eyes

And in whispers I breathe

And in life I know death

So peaceful she lay

In peace she lay
