a Victorian angel

Her form new-spun gossamer
a flowing, living robe,
shifting so quickly
a Victorian angel
hovering over Your mountain

So quickly she came
so soon departed
but we saw her with us
her body, a halo,
wings arched behind her
hovering across the sunset

Her body, her gown, pastel slates
wings of luminous fire
in dusty roses and pinks
alive in their beating
across the September sunset
