Wild Dreams

Wordle #139 with words:
angel  apart  box  clay  cover  fix  lies 
moon  pair simple snatch  waves

A hovering  angel over him ever watching
With immense desire wanting to please
But his conscience was a cover thwarting
All attempts to relate to him with ease

He tried to fix a typical line of defense
Offering lies between reality and fantasy
He gave  mild responses  in idyllic resistance
Waves of distraction caught his fancy

Apart from some fanciful footwork
To deflect attention from the ever seeing
He tried to snatch some hours to mock
The prowess of those spiritual beings

A simple endeavor  using a box of clay
And with wild dreams of sorcerers of old
A pair of gloves on a moon lit night he did pray
Believing that clay would be turned to gold

Only blessed gloves needed to be worn
To receive the converted gold he so desired
But with an empty look far into the horizon
He could only bid his time as expected
