Angel's Farewell

She stood upon the rocky precipice,
seraphic wings spread wide at the ready,
peering down into the fathomless chasm,
in the hopes of catching a
single glimpse of her prey.
She had laid in wait,
ever patient and ever cautious,
for an eternity it seemed,
until finally she caught sight of him.
In the great expanse of distance
which laid between them,
she could hear the distant echo of his laugh,
tingling a faded song of joy,
for her ears alone to partake of.
And with a smile of knowing satisfaction,
she rose upon her angelic wings,
and began to soar upward,
in order to meet the horizon,
and all of the celestial wonders,
which lay just beyond the imagination.
