Glimpse

The angel smiles, and says she's waiting for someone
Calm as a seamless ocean, she walks a path yet untrod
The path unmarked by her softest feet
In my waking dream, I catch a glimpse of longing in her eyes
Eyes as soft and gentle as a lovers embrace
But she simply smiles again and says

Be gone
Trouble me no more
The image fades
Her smile remains
As vivid and inviting as it ever was
But just as clear as her smile remained
One thing was certain
The angel was gone
