DREAMS OF WINGS

Air bends against my body

touching willows in the wind

The Stream curves below

Drifting and then pulls back again

constant movement a weave and thread

Shades of white and grey expand

Faces inside are tempted and hide

This divine right shines the sense bright

dark sky chanters herald in melodic design

human limitations sleep quietly

perched inside

exposed by an unkind light

Waking truth and departure from flight

joined with fallen others lost in descent

Our plea a mere bellow in the darkest midnight

a vision of disappearing sights

Leaving alone the moon to it's glow

fallen others before us behold

lighting a land of green with gold

Countless stars dismount and bend in honor

Stardust falls like snow lighting the road

This noble salute from heaven emulates for evil or good

Mesmerized and holding flight as a mystery told

Pulling undone this true right of second nature

It is the prize deep inside or a map to a treasure

falling further to find

a world stacked sky high in decline

the dark executioner waiting times unwind

Complete with sweets from a demon queen

ruler of vengeance and anger

Mere weapons for hire

Aimed to rob the earth of color

We fall whispers of a feather seeking prayer

Reaching for the key to grace's door

Blinded by tales of heavenly desire

And a tricky devil living under the floor

Author's Note

I wrote this after waking from a dream. In the dream I could fly this is an incredible feeling. I briefly thought about the world below and I could no longer fly. My wings gone and I braced myself for a fall. Just a dream. If your still reading thank you and God Bless
