Wings of Light – Terri Onorato

A gracious host of angels

prepare throughout the night

a place within the cosmos f

or the newest wings of light.

Rising from the lives they've known

these spirits leave the earth,

then one by one, side by side

their wings of light emerge.

A brilliant love engulfs them

and they quickly understand

the gift of life eternal waits

within the promise land.

Like radiant stars on canvas

their spirits fill the night

and our broken hearts are cradled in

their loving wings of light.
