He comes with a whisper
Or with a soft smile
He arrives when I'm sleeping
He comes without guile
He approaches so softly
Instilling no fear
His presence gives comfort
Quiet breath means he's near
He appears in mere shadow
Or else in plain sight
In dim early morning
Or dusky twilight
He has angel wings
Only I can see
He comes as a man
With fallibility
He comes with a smile
Or a heartbroken cry
He floats into sight
With a resonant sigh
He comes when he's thought of
Just out of my thrall
He appears sometimes ghostly
Or a shadow on the wall
He listens to tales
With laughter or tears
Sets matters aright
And banishes fears
He enters my dreams
And calls out my name
But I waken to find
His vision fading again
Or with a soft smile
He arrives when I'm sleeping
He comes without guile
He approaches so softly
Instilling no fear
His presence gives comfort
Quiet breath means he's near
He appears in mere shadow
Or else in plain sight
In dim early morning
Or dusky twilight
He has angel wings
Only I can see
He comes as a man
With fallibility
He comes with a smile
Or a heartbroken cry
He floats into sight
With a resonant sigh
He comes when he's thought of
Just out of my thrall
He appears sometimes ghostly
Or a shadow on the wall
He listens to tales
With laughter or tears
Sets matters aright
And banishes fears
He enters my dreams
And calls out my name
But I waken to find
His vision fading again
