NIGHT LIGHTS
ANGEL DUST
O guardian angel, my angelic messenger,
my defender, from above:
Like a cloud, you hover over me,
to guide and protect me.
You sprinkle me, with angel dust,
illuminating my thoughts, my actions.
What do I call you? Do you have a name?
I wonder, is there more, than one of you?
At every turn, you are at my side:
An unseen shadow, attached to my being.
In the darkness of night, you are there—
a silhouette—watching, waiting for sunrise.
When I awake, I know you were here;
From my eyes, I wipe away,
the blanket of angel dust,
collected from your work, of day and night.
And when my journey is completed,
I will ascend, upward,
in a cloud of angel dust,
to a heavenly place.
You, as my earthly sponsor,
will plead my case,
and I, will give you thanks,
for this angel dust, of grace.
