 An Angel & a Hero take a Walk on a Beach

                             (Vous Et Nul Autre)

I waited so long,

  I forgot what for—

My Heartbeat slowed by the Weight of Time—

Then one Summer Day,

  An Angel passed—

She stopped & turned Her Heart to Mine—

Empathetic and Wise,

  She Held my Soul

In Her delicate, Careful Hands—

And now my Heart,

  Beats as it should—

Perhaps the Encounter was Planned...

For I had Wandered,

  Far off the Course—

Not even wondering Why!—

And Now, it seems,

  I was not Lost—

Only Called, to an Angel's Side—

For what She Wanted,

  I had Plenty—

A Resource long Forgotten—

And Our Exchange,

  Became The Gain:

Our Beach, now had its Ocean.
