Downcast eyes full of grief

Body numb to the chilly air

Dress tangled about her legs

Winds whipping through her hair

Frantically trying to recall

His words, his look, his touch

Memories are all that’s left

Dependent on her crutch

Thoughts of days so long ago

Two lovers in the sand

Running, climbing, laughing, smiling

Walking hand in hand

Her troubles momentarily forgotten

Giving rest to her weary soul

Reality returns too quickly

A reminder she is not whole

Standing at the waters’ edge

Where dreams disappeared

Waiting for her lovers’ return

Silent prayers tinged with fear

The image of the lonely girl

Pacing to and fro

Hesitant to leave her post

In case her lover showed

The angel girl as she was known

Was said to call his name

If you listen very closely

You may hear it once again

The faintest whisper of her words

Carried forth by whipping winds

Tell a story of long ago

Of a love that will not end

The angel with her viking hair

Standing guard along the coast

Will wait until her days are done

Eternally a ghost

She is doomed to roam the earth

A sad and lonely fate

Unless she gains the will to see

Our Lord above awaits
