The Angel Descends

And the sky sung like a rainbow.

I pressed my head against the cotton stone

And tried to hold on to all I know,

As euphoria took hold of every bone.

I rode the wave

I lived the song

I danced the tune

I banged the gong

She sang to me in languages of old

In tongues so far beyond my grasp.

Left me with nothing on which to hold

As I stood alone on the very cusp.

I rode the wave

I lived the song

I danced the tune

I banged the gong

When night was done and day was here

I turned my head and saw my bed.

Before my eyes her wings stood clear

And this time I thought, I’m surely dead.

I rode the wave

I lived the song

I danced the tune

I banged the gong

I left the field and walked a time

With the tune that played, still in my mind

I gave my thanks to those who’d passed

And wished this state for me would longer last.
