Angel Flight Poem by Shirley Harrison

I felt the presence
of an enormous shaped shadow
coming down in front of me

giant wings of courage
protecting me like a feathered shield

once again she was here

reassuring me, that I wasn't alone
she was right here
holding my hand

I couldn't even shake, my tremors
soothed by her grasp

her glow was so powerful
guiding me

with a sense of tranquility
I felt strong

and as she swept me up from the depth of this my deepest darkness

holding me tight under her faithful wings

we were flying, flying into a magnificent sunrise

warm rays tickling my cheeks

until she decides I've seen enough

until she decides I'm finally ready

landing in a place where the light shines bright

she is silent

once again I see her eyes of fifteen carat diamonds

in a moment, she's gone

leaving her message all around me

in front of me, placing me gently on my road to walk

I now need to believe in myself

I now need to take control of my fear...

and just like that I did.
