I heard you rustling in the dark.
I whispered, “Am I ever going to see you again?”
Your red eyes glowed from the shadows.
I felt myself engulfed in ecstasy,
Embraced by your feathery wings.
We rose into the air—far, far away
From the mortal world—
Until the darkness parted,
Letting in the pure white light
Of Heaven.
