my first Angels

I have listened to beautiful songs
played by symphonies of light and dark
seen colours born at dusk or dawn
come to thrill me...
I have seen kind brown eyes, and Love
with folded wings stood nearby, attending
love and fear

Life in many folds unrolled like waves
to a thirsty shore
Gifts in every breath and blink, a universe
boundless and the will to drink every drop
there are moments that simply overwhelm
the greatest gift that we can know
Here, it is gratitude
for blessings asked and given
and those i can only feel
when I remember my Mother's eyes
and the kisses wished by my first Angels
