The Shadow of an Angel


A soul so open yet closed,

Eyes knowing and wise.

A face fierce and composed,

A mouth not full of secrets or lies.

 

A touch so warm and gentle,

In a place that is so cold and empty.

Extremely maternal and parental,

To shield innocence from the corruption that is so tempting.
