Beautiful bones of an angel
The milk of my mornings,
Stirring into tea
The twinkle in the night sky,
That kisses me goodnight.

Jaw so perfectly angular,
Collar so smooth
Is it human
To be so gorgeous?
Is it fair
To feel so right?

Beautiful bones of an angel
Lifted into space
Wings a’ flutter
Moon a’ shine
Almost sparkling as you smile
At me
And I look up
To say good-bye
But it’s too late
You’re already gone
To the heavens

Maybe I shouldn’t have waited so long.
