Baby Angel Sighs


 











Whispers in the blue bonnets, blending in the evening breeze
Blowing cottonwood on currents cooled by nights approach
Whispers in the leaves as they dance across the rye grass
Swirling, dipping to the music of an early fall.

Whispers of angels past, who once played here
Chasing sunbeams as they fade into the shadows
Laughter scarcely heard in the rustle of the branches
Angels frolicking in the cedars; chasing bygone dreams.

Children once graced this field of clovers,
Rainbow shorts and ribboned pony tails
Chasing fireflies, with jars for lanterns
Shouting catch me, if you can.

Vacant fields where joy had once resounded
Empty lots with empty swings
Now just whispers in our memories
Murmurs found in baby angel sighs.
