Angel


Come, dance with me in the wind!
Let us make waves on the seven seas.
Let me pluck the moon from the sky
and the ripples in the lake;
the waves from the shore.

I shall smooth the passage
of final dawn in your dark-eyed desire.
I shall make the way clear for your troubled soul.*
Let me lull you to eternal sleep
with a celestial kiss.
Then, together we will
break the seven seals
with passion and promises.
We will shatter the mirror
as we walk over the water
and I will turn your grave into bliss.



   
    *troubled soul: This is a reference to the Gospel of John 12:27.
    "Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say--'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it is for this reason that I have come to   
    this hour."

    The narrative asks the reader, "Now that I am in trouble- in fear of death- should I ask God to save me from this moment? No. I
    was born for this moment."
    This means that from the moment that we are born, we begin to die. What we do along the way prepares us death. The way we
    live determines for us what sort of a death we will have.
