Florid light

Florid light from
The heavens glistened down
Illuminating tranquility as such
Shadows veil, so not to be found

Angels would escort her
Along soft moss covered way
Warm breezes of summer
Stirred gentle winds
For a radiant maiden
On a god's given day

A harsh winter’s night
Or a dank, dispiriting day
Of these I speak
The gods kept away

A lover she longed for
Selected I as her last
Surrendering to love's delirium
By her spell I was cast

A lady slipper found
In woods rest solely
A grasping hand
Creates a demise unholy

My angel's wings
Dispatched her in flight
Home to Eden
From a thralldom too tight

At sad times I ponder
Are her thoughts sent my way?
From a radiant maiden
On a god's given day
