WHERE ANGELS SLEEP
Down the path, through the gate. Daylight waning, growing late. Shadows danced, about to creep into the place where angels sleep.
Dearly beloved, carved in stone, there I stood, on my own. Minutes passed without a sound. Damp earth cold on hallowed ground.
Time goes by, till footsteps fall, I saw the gypsy, heard her call. She looked at me with wary eyes, caught her breath and then she sighed.
She shivered, blinked, and looked around; darkness soon would be unbound. Nothing stirred that dreary place, and there she gazed with weathered face.
She found her courage, becoming bold, curious to see what would unfold. I asked to hear of future days, to use her gifts, her mystic ways.
She wanted coins, a worthy trade, but her hope of that began to fade. I gave a promise, she took the token, and so the truth was to be spoken.
She grasped my hand, saw the signs, read the secrets in the lines. The gypsy cried at what she spied, and knew at once that I had lied.
She spun around and tried to flee, desperate to get away from me. I caught her quickly; remaining calm, I smiled at her, and closed my palm.
She looked at me with growing dread, holding the secrets that she’d read. Her mind recoiled. She began to weep. She’d looked too far, seen too deep.
She prayed the Lord her soul to keep, and I left her there... where angels sleep.

Hi Uni, that's too bad. Yes, I keep copies of everything on CD. A few years back my old computer conked out and took everything with it, so I've lived and learned, lol. Thanks for visiting, enjoy the rest of your day
