Angel Dance

Aurora Borealis on a crisp, clear night

Angel dance

Last night I gazed
into
The domed, star studded sky
And saw
A host of angels dancing there
All silky, silvery white
Spilled out
Across the velvet night

I felt
Their joyful symphony
Resound within my soul
And
In the cool night air
I heard
The music of their laughter
Echo back and forth
Between
Their fluid, graceful forms

At times
Their dance was strong and bold
And I beheld
Those mighty angel wings
Sweep down
To touch the earth
And then, at times
I saw them, phantom like
And wondered
If perhaps they hid
And teased each other
Dipping through the galaxies
And sliding down
The milky way
