Max’s Smile


An Angel Star (or Max's Smile)


Make me a great poet I asked

So that I may tell the story of Max.

He was a mighty angel--

A great being of light

Grounded for a short time

On earth's paradise.

He caught us all unaware

Leaving without farewell

And we cried for him each day

Until our bodies begged for respite.

But a star is twinkling in the night

And it bears Max's smile.

Look to the sky in the dark of night

When the heart is still and light

And you will hear the whispers

Of a great being of light,

And catch the smile of an angel star.
