Wings

A little something about love.

As their feathers blew away

And love like water filled their eyes

They stared away in to forever

An eternity lost in tears

Hands held tightly, never breaking

Heads turned up to a midnight sky

Falling stars like diamonds passed them

Marking the earth where they fell

Unfulfilled wishes buried in the ground

Planted now awaiting morning

The glorious sun feeding their awakening

Bringing to life a second chance

He picks up hope grown from stardust

And carries it back to where she waits

Once more hands tie and eyes lock strongly

She smiles at he who keeps her heart

He holds more tightly to her body

She speaks in song to her beloved

Each word a lullaby leaving sweet her lips

He speaks in light to his beloved

Each word a flame in places dark

They stare down softly at their promised hope

Then back up to a sleepy sky

The clouds of day fading slowly

Giving way to the chill of night

He closes his hand around her own

As she puts another over the fallen hope

Closing eyes weary from sorrow

They wish in words unspoken

Each knowing what the other craves

Another chance to be together in the endless sky

Closed eyes and hands

Ever open hearts

They stand alone awaiting release

An escape from shackles unseen but felt

They long now only to be together

Unbound by time in the eternal heavens

At long last they feel their hope fulfilled

As wings white and endless flourish anew

They open wide their freedom

A promised gift born of falling hope

At long last they find their way back home

Flying higher than even the stars can reach

Together forever in dreamless flight

Their love like hands held strong

Eyes no longer clouded by tears of sorrow

Their bodies eternally lost in a sea of night

She smiles at him

And she is the sunlight and warmth in his heart

He smiles at her

And he is the moonlight and strength in her soul

She is the grace of day that let grow their seed of hope

He is the beauty of night that let fall a star of promise

Together they bring balance to places unseen

And in them a love most beautiful sleeps

She is the day

He is the night

They are the sky

Eternal and endless

As a love like heaven burns within them

Like falling stars and radiant suns

Voices heard and wishes granted

Two fallen angels

Bound in love

A beautiful story told in the poetry.
"And he is the moonlight and strength in her soul
She is the grace of day that let grow their seed of hope
He is the beauty of night that let fall a star of promise
Together they bring balance to places unseen"
