When the Angel Comes
When the Angel Comes
When the angel comes,
do not send her away.
Do not dismiss her,
hiding your head
and proclaiming,
I know you are unreal,
something conjured up
from my own imagination,
a mythic fragment,
long lost image
of desire,
made to deceive.
Then you will hear music
such as you have never imagined,
it will come from some invisible somewhere,
but you cannot tell whether
a rock or a star.
You will feel something beautiful
unfolding within
as Love invades
your body
and at last you will notice
that the angel wears your face,
is molded of the same substance
as you now are,
a being made of light.
