Rafael's Fugue

1 of my published poems

 

Consider the beams of sunlight as rays of love

shining down on you from someone special  above

and when drops fall from the sky

consider them kisses from an angel in flight

rolling into the oceans and seas

walking on the beach

 waves crashing at your feet

Consider them hugs of relief

feeling the sand between your toes

that is when you will know

She wants your heart to be light and joyful again

She doesn’t want to see you in pain

let those waves soothe your soul

 breath the air and just let go

Signs of her love show wherever you go

memories of her that no one but you knows

 

When the days light falls and stars have begun to glow

feel her love in the shining moon

the stars reaching out to you

She knows your heart will never be the same

 she knows the pain you feel whenever you say her name

 

She  wants you to know she is with you wherever you are

in the sun, moon, and the stars

in the wind, with the birds in the trees

in all the beautiful things like her, an angel with wings.
