Her form new-spun gossamer
her image so clear
looking down upon the earth
a flowing, living robe,
shifting so quickly
a Victorian angel
hovering over Your mountain
So quickly she came
so soon departed
evaporating into swirls
but we saw her with us
her body, a halo, the lines
of her robe
wings arched behind her
hovering across the sunset
Her body, her gown, pastel
slates
painted over the deepening
blue
wings of luminous fire
in dusty roses and pinks
lit from below
alive in their beating
across the September sunset

a Victorian angel
sunset from our back yard
the peak of Mt. Katahdin
