Angel

She has always been an angel –
no tinsel halo or cardboard wings required
to make her glow, to give her flight.

She has always carried a star,
not a silver-paper, gold-sprayed star –
something clearer, brighter, stronger –

something that lights her up
from deep inside.

Quadrille night at dVerse. Join us there! Mish is hosting, and our word is “tinsel”.
