Re-birth of an Angel

She looks at me, eyes that could swallow whole worlds, and cry whole oceans.
Draped over her shoulders, hair that could blanket the skies in sweet black satin.
Eyes that had seen pain undescribed, only remembered through tortured screams.
Eyes that still speak of a shattered heart, longing to be whole again.
A heart that yet beats with the love that ended her universe.
A heart that yet cries out for the long-lost promised love.
Eyes that are windows to the shadows deep within.
Eyes that are shadows within shadows.

Then, like the sun bursting through the thunderclouds,
I see a sparkle, a glow, a flash, a blinding light!
Her eyes radiate with hope and happiness,
The creases around her eyes start to disappear,
Her glistening tears start to dry and evaporate,
Divine love radiates from every cell of her being,
Happiness blooms like a heavenly rose in the warmth of hope,
Her angelic beauty overwhelms me, filling me with love and hope,

She smiles at me…and I smile back!
