The Perfect Smile



I saw angels once


At least I thought I did


They were like ghosts


Apparitions in the air


Their bodies faint as smoke


You could see right through them


You could barely see them at all


The wings were just outlined


Just giant arches coming off the apparitions backs


You couldn't see skin


Just a faint body.


There were three of them


They were smiling at me


You should have seen the middle one's smile


It was perfect, even mischievous


Just nothing but love emanating from the grin


You see this smile, and all fear is gone


There is no more grief


Anger fades to peace


Sadness fades to joy


And if but for a moment


I felt truly happy


Truly joyful


Like hope and love were blankets you can wrap yourself in


That smile.


I'll never forget that smile


It wiped my fear and pain away


If but for a moment


The angel gave me hope


And a grin I long to see again


I will see that angel again


I will see his smile


His smile that wipes out my fear


That perfect smile.
