A Haven

The face of an angel looked deep
Into mine - taking my hand she
Flew me about - following her lead
I laughed at her innocence, she didn't
Realize there could be malevolence.

Eyes twinkling with wonder, not
A care found in crow's feet, smile of
Amazement not sheepish to meet
The look of bewilderment found on
Such a haggard face, not even forty
Years old.

Could it be for real this
Heavenly encounter? Graced to
Someone who has often and sometimes
Completely faltered... to believe in
What's sweet and ethereal - and yet
Here it was in a 36 inch Haven.

Blond hair, almost not there, curled
Just at the tips - with little rosebud lips,
Pursed in a question... high pitched squeal
Of delight in the simple - I am glad to
Not have missed this divine encounter.
