I saw you ,
You looked at me .
It's not a mirage
but a cosmic peek
in the form of a last reverence .
You're the angel
who stand straight .
Well-bred and educated .
You haunt the hospital corridors
in white coats and silk scarf ,
a rose at heart level .
Only the pretender ,
contemplating your beauty !
You speak softly
and compassionately .
A voice to acompany departure.
A breath ,a caress ,
a scent and a promise .
You suggest and don't take ,
inviting to forget
and forgive ...
Placing on the bedside table
the big book for tired souls
who will be take over the trip ...
To the traveler's ear ,playing the lyre
or some good old fashioned guitar chords...
'' A dance step madame to leave with elegance ? ''
You're the angel who walks quietly
like a cloud passing through the waiting room.
The one who takes your hand to the exit .
Telling you :
'' My dear it was an honour ! ''

The image is clear and familiar especially in Catholic countries and hospitals. A symbol of peace mother's unconditional love, of healing. Very nice
I think this figure must represent someting of a ultime presence .
But here ,I'm depicting it as ''white ''!
Fascinating. I could swear tis an eloquent piece on Florence Nightingale, no? Yet there's a subtle darker note flirting about the song as if a demoness has coyly framed herself as an angel. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Ambivalent angel in the image of what our life has been !
