Alone I came,
or so I thought
Alone I walked
and so I fought
Until you brought
me back to where
I stood, astounded –
and, suddenly aware,
flew, yet still so grounded,
found you standing there:
an Angel who
with words, profound,
reached down when few
had stood their ground;
lifted me up
above the crowd.
