Moonlit Angel by Jeff Ooi

Moonlit Angel

There she stood,

By the edge of her chilly world,

Confessing her last fantasy.

With bloodshot eyes,

She looked and she panned

But no star was in sight,

Only murkiness

Dimly lit

By an ecliptic crescent

Upon a sullen night.

She swore

She beheld the presence

Of Fallen Cherubs

Humming a requiem

In euphonic harmony,

As candles fade

And wind whispers

And ravens howl

Across a paling horizon,

As joy rebirths.
