It’s the last image from a fairly long dream involving a house full of people.

A tall, beautiful black man said to me, “I watched you sleep for awhile. Did you know you sleep with your hands clasped to your mouth? It’s like you are praying when you sleep. An angel you are indeed.”

I awoke with a song in my head . . . was it ‘Send me an Angel’ (any version, the original by Real Life, the cover by The Scorpions, or the infinitely superior cover by Zeromancer)? No. Nor any other ‘Angel’ song . . . it was Suncreem’s “God Heard You Talking in Your Sleep” which is a perfectly nice song, but far and away not their best.

So, God, what did I say?
