I stand atop a hill, Steel clashes,

echoing in the cool night air.

Fire lights the night sky as the battle rages.

I prepare another spell

as the forces glow around me.

Suddenly from behind a sword comes down trying to take my life. However it never reaches its target.

The warrior striking the blow drops to the ground as my spell reaches out striking the enemy on the battlefield before me.

I turn around, standing before me is an

Angel,

Glowing,

she radiates a soft light that surrounds me,

protecting me from evil.

She smile and says, "My Lord I shall not let harm come to you."

I kneel before her and say,

"Angel of Life and Love I know not why,

but time and time again

you save me from a sad fate.

I am not worthy; all I have is my life and this I willing give.

Tell me, oh Dear Angel of Light

how may I ever please you?

"Free me", she smiles.

I rise to touch her cheek gently,

but my hand passes through as she fades away.

I turn again toward the battle that rages.

Knowing that once again she eludes me yet her presence is still within.

Then I smile as I hear her voice

"One day my Lord, One day"
