Angel of the Dawn



I looked for gossamer wings
in the dark of night,
but not a one
was within my sight.

But Hope, when I thought
all hope was gone,
returned with the angel
of the dawn.

The coolest thing about Truly Horrible Days, is that they end, and you wake up to a brand new day next morning. I wrote a dirge last night to Shay's prompt at Real Toads: to write about angels. But thought the better of it and woke up with these more hopeful lines in my head this morning. I love that about mornings!

  10. you know when an angel spreads its gossamer wings and the mornings sun pierces through them the light refracts into rainbows? so i'm sure you have seen angels

    may the dawn fill your sky with rainbows, mi amiga
