I saw only grey clouds
Swirling
Surrounding
They shut out the light
Blocked off the world
I was alone
Tired, depressed, suffering within


It was with a quiet grace
that they separated
Light shone through and I could see
my Angel


She came to me, not from God
although some will claim that
She came to me, not from my imagination
although I had believed that
She came to me of her own heart
Dispelled the clouds with her words
And opened the world there before me


I saw only blue sky
Peaceful
Harmonious
It gave light to my world
Inspired the birds to sing
I was no longer alone
