Wings

 


In my mirror imagination

I’m blinded by the

light of a myriad suns,

all shining an inaudible song.

The words, felt deep within,

keep me warm.

The swirl of the air drifts me along.

I’m lifted through clouds,

across fields that, when young,

I would have run.

 

In the scattershot memories

that circle me here

like birds of prey ready to dine,

I see so many unfulfilled yesterdays.

But today I know I'm able to soar above

those dislodged souvenirs,

the reminders

of all the places I've been,

of all those days

I'd spend wishing would leave.

The memories I wish would let me be.

Now I see them starting to fall

as my wings

have finally started growing

and I can fly above it all.

Finally I can breathe.

 

I see the pain.

A sea with tidal waves

surging towards

the sandcastle lands.

I want to turn away,

but the view has me

transfixed

somewhere betwixt

a dream and reality

where I'm no longer sure

that the me I see in memory

still exists.

 

 I swoop towards the floor,

then soar higher than before.

The sea touches the shore,

and I'm sure I see yesterday

fade into nevermore.

The me that once

walked those sands,

a lost boy, with hurt pouring

like water through his hands,

can now fly

as he has found

his peace with life.
