Angel Heart - Sonnet 10

Atop the sun did my love come along;
No earthly grace would dare outshine her soul,
Given to her by God a breath of song
Enchanted and a wonder to behold,
Lit up a starless sky at dead of night
And wound my days in quite a happy chord,
Majestic in her stature and my sight.
If I collected shells from shorelines, floored,
Completely lost in bliss, and lined them up
Held loose amongst the kernels of the sand,
Expecting to account for all my love,
Little, dear, could I wholly understand,
Like time eternal, how your angel heart
Eclipsed my soul with your celestial chart.
