Black Angel

A poetic description of an image which came to me one day.

Black Angel

Long dark hair flows from her bowed head.
Black dress in tatters about her.
Slender arms opened wide in acceptance,
while graceful hands show palms to the heavens.
Beautiful face shadowed by sorrow.
Her softly elegant wings spread;
a stark contrast against the dark backdrop of the land.
Pale skin and burning eyes surreal against the harsh realities.
Silent mist from the pond curls about her
feet, as demons reflect in the water.
Thus the Black Angel stands.
