Angel of darkness

A sample of a poetic story I am working on.

It was a night like in a dream. Sit back and relax as I tell you the theme. It was warm, with a hint of breeze; the moonlight aiming to appease. The ocean waves crashed at my feet. Then outward bound they would retreat. The dolphins played in the light of the moon. Splishing and splashing and singing a tune. I sat to listen for awhile. I buried my feet in a cold sand pile. As I stared out upon the scene, I inhaled the air that smelled so clean. As I squished the sand between my toes, I then heard a voice say "excuse me. I don't mean to impose". "Wow", I said. "You gave me quite the scare. I did not see you standing there". "Tell me the way to heaven", she said. "I am afraid I've been mislead". "Whatever do you mean", I asked. Then suddenly like a vapor she had passed. Quickly, she had vanished into thin air. Nothing was left but one strand of hair. I picked it up and noticed it was no hair at all; it was a fragment of a feather, ever so small.
