The Poetry of Michael Langston


(84) YOU ARE THE BEST

Lying alone in my bed
In sleep's warm embrace,
Under the soft cover of dreams,
Tucked in from the real world,
From cold, hard reality,
I once turned my head
When an angel, it seems,
Appeared in its stead
Fleshed out there beside me.

With bright loving eyes
Only inches from mine,
I said to her softly
As I tell in this rhyme:

You are the best thing
That's happened to me
In a very long time!
You are the very best thing
That's happened to me
In a very...long...time.
