I was sleeping when I woke
And at the foot of my bed
She stood slightly afloat
She was translucent blue
And comforting too
.
Her wings were spread wide
As if ready to fly
And the most beautiful golden hair
I have ever seen
Fell down to her waist
.
Though I couldn't see her face
It was as if she was beauty incarnate
She was tall and slim
Seeming almost delicate
Yet very strong was she
.
All this I saw
In a three second glimpse
Yet I will never forget
That short glimpse I had
Of an angel by my bed
