Touching Angels

Touching Angels



The nascent colors of dawn melt,
pooling in a brilliant sky of
azure.

The mountains call me with whispered
voices. Their cold breath condenses
in clouds.

As I climb, the reflected sun
paints heavenly halos in my
vision.

The exertion leaves me panting
as I reach the pinnacle and
pause.

The solitude is broken by
the faint voices of the heavens
singing.

Stretching upwards, I strain toward
the source only to fail and fall
backwards.

--------------------

Rising from my alabaster
bed, I peacefully wait for an
answer.

Turning, I see that where I fell
in the snow's the image of an
angel.
