remembering an angel

An old man who lost his angel. He remembers her to the day he sees her again. enjoy :)

one cold summer night on this salty aired beach

the same beach that I have loved and lost in my past days

I think of a time when all was bright

when my angel was standing right next to me

I will never forget that angel

the one who stole my heart from the moment I saw her

in days of shining gold when all was good

with my arms around the beauty of earth

from our first encounter

to the day she became eternally mine

and to the day that her graceful form had been buried beneath the dirt

that angel's spirit will always remain with me and weigh on my heart

I believe that everyone finds their love at one point in their life

whether they chose to keep that person sacred is their decision

years ago I decided to keep her holy until she parted from my presence

and to this day I still would fight for that beauty with all my strength

I may be old and weak

but when I remember her I grow tall and mighty

for she is all of the strength I need to stay alive

for however long I will remain

as I listen the waves roll off of the ocean's stones

as the small grains of sand caress my wrinkled feet

I look past all of the fears that may lay in my heart

and I remember an angel that had once rescued me

I stare at the moon that has come before my eyes

and as I walk this shore as I once did before

I know that someday not far from now

I will see my gray haired angel for eternity

and I will walk this shore with her once more

Awww, man, this made me totally sad and emotional! Haha, but that's a good thing here. Your poem is really beautiful, the atmosphere you can create with your stunning descriptions & imagery is simply overwhelming. It's like the reader can totally get into the poem, as if your words serve as a window.
Keep on rocking, I believe you're one of my favorite writers here. :) Your descriptions can be matched only by few. :D
