Angel... A friend as I saw her


... I was walking down a path. Not sure of of where I was... It was then I was aware of a presence, saw the shadow... Like a gentle wind rustling through dry leaves. Gently swaying grass on an open plain... I saw her rise, rise up on splendid wings... Saw the glistening white of her feathers, heard the soft rustling of wind through feathers... She was far away, further than I thought... Yet close enough to hear her whispers...
She was awesome to behold... Serenity... Chaos... I saw the movement, then the blur, her wing's movement. Her body serene, still and unmoved by the chaotic movement...
She was moving at me... Speeding faster than my focus allowed... Thoughts of ''inevatable collision'' clouded my thoughts... Tightly pinched eyes I await the impact... Then all is still, alight breeze hits me... A light touch startles me... An Angels lips on mine... Still, unmoving... My heart stops for that moment... Slowly I open my eyes... There she was... An image of calm... She opens her wings as if she's challenging me... Inviting me in.. Then I saw it as she turned as if carried by the wind like a feather... She reveals her stance... It was then I realised she's the chosen one... She bore the mark... A Phoenix rises from the lowest part of her back accending her glistening body... Skin so soft.. An image so vivid... Is this her power.. Does this harbour her power... As she turns her soft rotating circuit in the soft light... I notice a tear... It rolls like a liquid pearl... Dropping from the sky... I try to catch it... I fail, it falls to the ground... Lost, gone, swallowed by the soil... My heart sinks... Then I look up at her.. Sadness is gone... A beeming smile... Bright lusturous.. I see her mouth make the words... '' that was my last tear''...
