Early one morning,
deaf children
found an angel
fallen
in the schoolyard.
Awestruck,
and the youngest
frightened,
they circled
the body.
Their hands fluttered.
They wondered
what could be so wrong
in heaven
that God would
let this happen.
Their conversation
moved the air
making music
only the angel
could hear.
Its spirit, awakened,
walked through the children
and out of the schoolyard.
Then its body
glowed and disappeared.
The children
gazed upon each other,
and began a new day.
