Today I heard angels singing

Today I heard angels singing  

The world woke up

The world stood still

The voices sang the sweetest song

The glory of being a child

The golden divinity of infant souls.

Today…I heard angels singing

The hearts melted down

And a divine fountain flooded the room

while the warm texture of their voices rose

permeating the air with delicious scents:

citrus, cinnamon, frankincense and chocolate!

Today I heard angels singing…

The perfect melody.

Preparation for the festive season.

Exciting days!!!

presents and cookies!!!

And I remained still…

Very quiet…  listening…

While my tears

ran down my cheeks,

I was surrounded

by multicoloured sparks,

and jolly and shiny stars!

Today I heard angels singing

But these angels had no wings.

They use backpacks, pigtails

and undone

shoelaces.

They have charming smiles

Beautiful hearts filled with

fluffy candy floss

and cheeky

salted caramel

toffee!
