Wings
By: Anvalë Greyheaven


Yet another drop of rain
Down a face
A dead stare
As the wind rocks the body

Bleak eventide
The monotone squeaking
Of the rope so tight
Against a pale neck

Heavy clouds
Calm silence, a lone bird
Flapping gently it’s wings
Far away

The smile that never was
The star that never sang
The wreck of a mind
Past, as the feet lost contact

There were dreams
White, marble tower
Through the dark
Two little hands reaching out

Tomorrow did never come
But there were solace
Behind the veil
He saw.

Yet another drop of rain
Down his face
A tiny glimpse of a smile
As the wind rocked his body
