ANGEL’S BREATH

Soft as spring morning is an angel’s breath
Far reaching and powerful
Deep into our lives
Though we feel we walk this path alone
They are our silent guides
Standing on the sidelines awaiting their moment
The soft breeze of their wings shows their presence
When the darkness cloys and binds you
When the fears of life confront you
They breathe their comfort
Into the whirlwind of your turmoil
Gently awakening a sense of peace
While the world around you shudders
And you know then all will be well
And your pathetic efforts at problem solving
Have been replaced by eternal knowing
And worries disappear like vapour
On a beam of light through a dark clouded sky
And you can breathe again
And smile again
And know you are safe
