An angel peers into my soul
as the sun begins to rise.
I begin to stand up
and ascend into blue skies.
The clouds have all cleared away
as I await the new
so I can see what's in store for me
and everyone else too.
I wait outside the golden gate
as I begin to pray.
In hopes that I join my relatives
and in heaven I'll stay.
I step before Michael,
the keeper of the gate.
He tells me my time isn't up yet
and sends me back to my old state.
I walk among the living
but yet, I feel dead.
Could that dream have been real
or was it all in my head?
I may not know the answer now
but I know someday I will.
I've decided for keepsake
to put an angel on my windowsill.
There he'll be to watch over me
as my time is spent
while I wait for it to be done
and back to heaven I'll be sent.

A LOVER'S DREAM
I'll love you forever, come what may
no matter what happens some time ahead
I wish to see you all times of the day
and I run through all the words you have said
watching and waiting for you to walk by
so you can take me to another place
far above the clouds, high in the sky
the place where our dreams we may chase
I feel I owe you everything I have
and that this feeling shall always last
this love I feel will be a salve
where we are now we will remain steadfast
over all obstacles during the years
as long as you and I get past our fears
-Kaleena Marquez
RAIN
The rain washes away all sin,
it lifts your spirit up.
You feel at peace
and strangely calm
as the droplets fall--
ever so softly
on your skin.
It runs silently,
through your hair
and drips off your fingertips--
You feel refreshed.
The rain begins to combine--
as one--underneath You.
It then begins to shift--
as One Whole.
Combining unity and peace--
Together.
-Kaleena Marquez
