ANGEL IN WHITE

I had only one thing in mind as I headed down the flight of stairs that seemed to wind forever.

My eyes wandered as the sun reflected off othe the white world,

and I smiled at it’s beauty.

I burst through the barrier that was shutting me off from that wonderland

and rejoiced at my sense of freedom.

The child in me began to sing, as I headed towards my destination.

Images of my actions that were soon to follow.

I marveled at the fresh wind that began to caress my skin; and nipped at my nose,

and I smiled deep within myself as the anticipation began to seize me.

Halfway between a large, gray rock, and a field of white flakes,

I plopped myself down and let my arms and legs move,

as if they had a free will of their own.

As a sense of peace filled me, I stared up into the blue sky,

and let the tears fall down my face.

Later, when I left the spot that I had made my own,

I stared down at the angel that was watching me.
