She pointed directly…
As trees like tassels swung
To miniature creatures
Accompanying the sun

Now within
an angel twin
a spirit capped
Covered
A fallen twin
though spirit kept
crept within
Shuttered
Leaves impress
though wither since
and with one hand
Carried
By silk, by light
a faith, a plight
as we hark and herald
Surely
