Wings









Wings

The wings I found 'neath Autumn tree,
A set for you and a set for me.
We've waited all this time to find
Another soul...a witch to bind.

With golden threads we stitch and sew
These props of fancy there to grow.
But props they are, and props they'll be
Til you and I can be set free.

We never needed wings to fly,
Only ever the will to try.
But we stitch them on and sew them tight,
Our spray of feathers, mine black, yours white.

And like a pair of fearless wraiths,
We take our final leap of Faith,
To meet in pure and endless rapture,
A moment of true bliss to capture.

And as we feel our threads untie,
With impending doom we cry.
But instead the gold entwines
Around our hearts, both yours and mine.

And as they start to beat as one
We turn to Dust, our work here done!
