Analysis of "heaven sent" a Sonnet #56



Angels sent from afar,
moonlit shadows, thou seas.
You are my shining stars,
flying upon the breeze.

In my life it's not hard,
to contemplate to see,
just who you really are,
whom, I'm supposed to be.

Inside you there is art,
for me to show to thee.
Your breath sighs, plays a part,
living inside of me.

Painting pictures of shards,
arch angels from your heart.
