Dear Angel of the night what a
beautiful sight you are
Awesome indeed.
Did you know expectation
failed and, I was in need?
I never asked you to listen to
my life’s affair or plight
and yet here you are
appearing from somewhere deep
inside those oceans in my mind
where thoughts sometimes swim in
a downward spiral of the never-ending
kind.
Angel of the night take me on
your fantastic flight of
imagination.
I dream of flying with you
but then…
…you know I do.
Is that why you’ve broken free of
the sea that’s threatening to
drag me down to its bottomless pit.
Did you sense me drowning?
Angel of the night, I will never
surrender your light
nor sink beneath the oceans
weight inside my mind.
You are all the goodness there will
ever be in me
so take me on that flight and
never give me up nor, let me
count the cost
for as long as I have you my
soul is never lost.

Oh, this makes me feel like I am in a fairy tale. Wonderful, Brenda.

Loved the feel and flow of this piece.
Lovely! I could imagine music to it…. 🙂
Angel of the night … we all need one. Your poem is lovely.
Very beautiful and heartfelt! Poem of respect and trust.
Angels all around us and they have come to you. Wonderful!
at first i thot this would be a dark angel….then realized it was an essential part of your being to help keep you safe and sane..
Whoever has such an angel is quite lucky, indeed! Beautifully written.
so take me on that flight and
never give me
Whether it be friend, family, or angel, we all need someone like this in our lives!
Beautifully done! I wish that I had such an angel!
Nice thought … comforting too … even for somebody like me … believe it or not … thank you, Bren, Love you, cat.
lovely, a heartfelt prayer.
Nighttime can be frightening, but it can also be a time for healing, for gaining strength to make it through the next day. Beautifully expressed!
How comforting it must be to have an angel of the night to comfort you. They will always be there if you believe. This poem is so well written.
thats so good feeling……when you know the angel and the soul …….beautiful….
What a lovely message to that part of you that pulls you from the depth. Thank goodness for the Angle of the Night.
I love how you captured the flight of thoughts that go with drifting in and out of sleep. Especially love the last verse with so much hope expressed.
I just woke from a deep afternoon sleep and know that figuratively my hand was held, first to actually sleep, second during, third to wake. I rarely remember dreams which may be thanks to this angel whom I have never sen.
Your poems help me to see the angels, there when needed, life saviors and fly mates and the goodness of you.
Such soft, beautiful sentiments. Something to read right before sleep, or right after waking up. Just lovely.
I’ve had some of those downward spiral nights, too, but no angles came to save me.
Love the angel of flight. Being I have slept much lately I so could relate to this beautiful write piece. Excellent.
Blessings
smiles…..we should all be as thankful to our angels that watch over us without hope of anything in return…and they dont ask for it but they take it…and help us along…
An awesome read to end my day with
never let go of this angel of night :))
Angle of night telling us to march forward..
an awesome post to sleep with
gud night !!
Some rhyme from you today at your zoo and yeah sometimes they pull us up when life gives us a hiccup. Although I kept thinking of Gargoyles though, as they said that phrase many a time on that show.
We all need an angel of the night..as I read I wondered if it can only be ‘yourself’..the wisest parts of yourself at least..wonderfully spiralling..thought filled write..jae
This is simply wonderful!!!! LOVE the closing lines!
Beautifully expressed, Bren. I like the idea of having an angel of the night who will be there in the darkest of nights and help one to fly far above those deep oceans and bottomless pits one finds oneself in sometime!
