The Starangel falls
from heaven
on iron wings.
Her eyes grow
wide with wonder
at the secret heart
of an untouched world.
At water's edge,
waves lap a greeting,
stirring the sand.
Winds invite
the visitor to linger
and recieve a moment
that shall not return.
Recovered at last,
the ancient song
of Eden entreats her
to abandon the void
lying beyond a fragile
shell of sky.
The offer is tempting,
but emptiness has a hold
the soul has yet to conquer.

PS: thank you for your comments. The piece you read/commented on came to me in its entire form in a dream. I see what you mean about it and certainly had some thoughts on that too, but figured I would write it as it came out in my dream instead. I will see if I can work on providing the alpha and omega on that story soon. ;) Silver
