Sitting on the oldest sky
She sat on the night sky then lay down looking at earth and watching angels
Flying past her to heaven
She had never been there because she was now a lost soul and had become too dull to find.
She picked at their eyes sometimes.
She picked at another lost soul one night and found a tiny spark of light that could be stretched and grown bigger, these were rare and had never been found before.
When she did this it caught the attention of the angels because they felt her in space where she would not ordinarily be able to sustain herself without them.
A beam of light appeared around her and it turned into a new Angel who asked her where to find the lost soul.
She said its beneath you and the angel shon his light on him awoke him and took him to heaven. When he returned to find her on order of God, she was gone.
