My Mallard and AngelA Poem by Gabrielle EspositoMy Mallard and Angel
Rise from your sleep my Tortured Angel Give me your hand I'll take your soul but not your body
Follow my, my child, to a place of salvation On Earth, you were a Mallard Constantly struggling to find your footing and stay afloat Here you are an eagle Flying high above the poachers who hunted you
Many times you have told your story Yet no one listened or cared Not once were you understood Not once was an effort made to understand
So by your own hands you left them For you believed it best
But what do I tell the people Now that you are not around?
I can't tell them the truth That they are the reason you decided not to stay
My Tortured Angel what do I say?
Never mind I won't fuss I'll simply say that you My Mallard and Angel Have flown away
