 ~* Last Night I Saw An Angel Dance *~© Mysteria 2001 I awoke this morning from a rumpled bed, Where a weary, mourning, soul had slept not. In the mirror I saw no mortician washing his hands, Instead there was a woman cherishing all she’s got. An angel of mine had tended to my broken heart, And through some trickery I saw her dance. She told me to cherish every second of this day, And to remember at this life I only get one chance. I saw my reflection through sparkling, blue eyes. A face with subtle etching of life’s incisive artwork. I no longer mourned my dead days of youth. This newfound wisdom even caused a morning smirk. Through the distortion of life’s gentle breeze, And a stark and final interference of reality, Happiness and sadness revealed their true nature; I was forced to take a hard look at my own mortality. The sad darkness in my eyes and my heart, Quickly were washed away with a new, exciting glance. The beautiful light of friendship and memories, Filling dark shadows; last night I saw an angel dance. The outcome of life’s path is never certain, Just as each day you plan is not; Take inventory of all your blessings now, And just be thankful for what you’ve got. I have faced the truth, and the day will come When from this plain I will have to depart, I am on borrowed time, so I have to make the most of it, And the main thing will be – how did I share my heart? Yes, now I look in the mirror and see a woman I know, She calmly gazes back at me content with life in every way, Her eyes are now bright pools of clear love and truth, I sigh, and wonder how to enjoy this wonderful day. Yes last night I saw a beautiful red-haired angel dance, A vision so crystal clear I felt I was there too, The most beautiful part of this wonderful vision, Was learning another life lesson soon to be passed onto you. art: http://www.world-wide-art.com, Steve Hanks "A Moment Of Reflection" music: http://www.angelfire.com "Angel of Mine " If you have a choice to sit down or dance, dance! |

Wise thoughts in here.....life is too short to complain about what we don't have, rather than enjoying what we do.....  |

Very profound in years of wisdom and a deep sentiment as well to see yourself as forever young, I believe the angel within you certainly has a few more dances left to dance. Wonderful reflections. |
