Missing An Angel by Scott Utley
Hollywood and Vine ~ erupting with volcanic fireworks like fireflies
Millions of them exploding rainbows from one horizon to the other
Over and over again yes again and again YES again
Ooooooooo ~ ohhhhhhhhh ~ ahhhhhhhhh
They bring the western and eastern worlds closer
The rockets red glare and the flying glow worms do ~ yes they do
Gaze higher higher now higher ~ higher ~ higher ~ there
Juvenile shooting stars from Orion’s belt race for first place ~ kids
Even angels with lots of time under their belts are hopping with excitement
This has been going on since you first arrived
This is the way I been feeling for many years and many many lifetimes
Ever since I first fell into your eyes
And then re-emerged a man more compassionate
I have been blessed by Fortuna to have walked
The landscape of your most beautiful face
You know I know you have performed many miracles
I am one miracle of yours ~ some fools have all the luck
So tell me ~ are you a saint or just an angel of the highest order
Talk to the animals for me ~ tell them I am here ~ I am very fine
and doing well and I am coming ~ it may take a while but I'll be there
Heaven is lucky to have you and Heaven knows it.
