Wings
Clouds passing
Blue waters above and below
The smell of freedom
A taste I thought I’d never know
Air pushing against me
Yet compelling em forward
Cheering me on
A sound I thought I’d never heard
A flock calls
Fromf ar away
They seem to be so beautiful and quick
So I force myself to stay
Thick, lush whiteness
Hugs me like a friend
Pulling me closer
And I am sure my wounds they will mend
They invite me to sit
Atrop their gently curved knolls
And so I do, not seeing
How their lovely whitenes is damaged by holes
The flock from far away
Is screaming with joy
Taunting and grinning
My soul they destroy
My fall is quite long
And the wind roars
I can barely see
When rain begins to pour
I know I am a goner
About to be dead
So I don’t fight back,
and my heart is a stone, heavy as led
I suddenly wish
The flaming globe would come out
And I begin to hope
Refusing to doubt
Deasth is as close as my next breath
The ground is near
And I feel I might perservere
There’s no need to fear
I lift my wings
So limp and weak
Yet, they’re ready to move
And fly as high as a mountain peak
I am soaring
I am screaming
I am free
I am beautiful; I am strong; I am gleaming
