An Angel
By: Kate Brandywine

What light shines through this window of mine
on which the other side is dark,
but light it lets through so bright.
Beams shine like a new day,
but the day has not yet begun.
As I sit and bestow my thoughts
with a mind of passive reflection
I bethink my true affection.
This bond within my loyal nerve
here within my sanity of mind
I exhale unfamiliar mortality into my love.
This breath so light and whimsical
his lungs but mortal flesh,
and yet he breaths parallel to me.
An angel begrid in iridescent illumination.
He is but my mortality,
and yet not my existence.
The peace he brings to the light
as he moves over the room of this duration
he is but my angel captivating this soul
with only his flushed radiance.
And angel that is but my mortality,
the light that dawns the fresh day,
and the breath I will eternally breathe.
