Angels touched Me

I in acceptance looked  away
thinking it was time to go
the pain made me so aware
life was  fleeting, now for the heavenly

pain, white lightning suffusing
my body, wracked in agony
heat from deep within rising
brimming over my eyes

gentle cool hands on my brow
a pair of deep set eyes, liquid brown
almost hazel…gazing deep
into my eyes , they shone quiet  love

look at me, do not close your eyes
I will be by you, do not fear
he whispered...soothing melodious
I sank into peaceful nothingness

hours of eternity  swathed
in white, pain a grim promise
I returned in bleary awareness
safety net knitted wounds

I never saw him again
the theatre team never saw him
none knew him
but I knew, an angel brought me through

fast forward and I saw his eyes
brown liquid on a white face
gazing deep into my soul
touching chords in love songs

he is gone now, loving another
but the two pairs of eyes
will haunt me forever
in different bitter sweet way.
