Poetry
Greetings from an Angel above.
I bring to you tidings of love.
Take me up, I wanted to say.
Let me stand in a brighter ray.
Let me journey to a place unknown-
a city made of crystal stone.
And fill the gaps I left behind.
Add to my being a brighter shine.
Open up that last closed door.
Put my feet on the polished floor
To return before the break of day,
and begin my life in a different way.
-"Sandy"
