She kept her face hidden, sheltered from sight

This spirit who wandered, throughout the night

No one could see her, though shimmering white

She must be an angel, the keeper of light

****

Yet, she knew the reason, she was left here alone

Her soul was not finished, her deeds, to bemoan

This being who stayed, while the others flew home

Is the keeper of darkness, bound to Earth, an unknown
