Angel Wings

I dont know if this happened,

or if it was a dream.

I only know it wakened me,

So very real it seemed.

A pair of wings flew down to me,

At first I was afraid.

I did not try to fend them off,

It seemed I wanted them to stay.

They were snowy white and silky soft,

with a scent of sweet fresh air.

I inhaled deeply ~ held my breath,

I sensed an angel there.

Larger than I could have dreamed,

The wings had great strength and power.

They easily could have carried me,

I was fearful, and I cowered.

Then curiosity took hold,

I lay still; what would happen next?

Those wings hugged me and engulfed me,

It was pure love I sensed.

I lay back; my head was reeling,

So many thoughts rushed through.

Was this an angel sent to fetch me,

If so, what do I do?

The wings held me for a moment,

There was a soft kiss on my cheek.

I'd never felt this way before,

I was at perfect peace.

And then the wings unfolded,

They were no longer holding me.

The sweet aroma left the room.

And I awakened instantly.

I lay quietly and still,

Running all this through my head.

Was this a dream, or was this real?

Was there an angel at my bed?

If it were true, I'd like to know,

Why the angel did not take me.

Willingly I would have gone,

For I knew heaven did await me.

But were it a dream ~ same question?

Plus, why wake me 'fore it's through?

I'd have liked a glimpse of heaven,

And had a preview too.

Well, either way, I'm grateful,

I've been blest to have a peek.

At an angel with strong, loving wings,

That gently kisses cheeks.
