Touched by an Angel
By Tatiana Pahlen

I rocked on the waves
face up to the sky
Hailing the torrid sun,
Cruising dolphins
slowly passed me by,
Waking me
from my tranquil haze.
I watched their flips
and overhead stunts,
Feeling elated
and free.

An angelfish
Faintly touched my feet
My mind and soul
merged to one;
Had I a pair of wings,
I would have kissed the sky,
For this blissful
moment of peace.
