Of Fairy-Like Beauty

Of Fairy-like beauty, ethereal and soft

Her soul I saw, shining brightly.

Enveloped by her warmth, I was carried aloft

By her gossamer wings, ever so lightly.

Her lovely lips I beheld that night

And her smile eclipsed the stars.

Her words were wise and offered insight

Illuminating the darkness from afar.

Enchanted I felt as I beheld

Twin Emerald pools – her eyes

Their resplendence and fulgor unparalleled

As if blessed by our Lord Adonai

Blessed I felt in her presence

The touch of her spirit sublime

A jewel among the pebbles was her essence

Of the Order of Angels – a paradigm

Of Fairy-like beauty, ethereal and soft

Intoxicated by her proximity and evanescent bouquet

And in her downy luminescence I was lost

For In the presence of an Angel I was that day.
