LIFE IN YOUR HAND

Source: weheartit.com

A bit of fluttering

tickles your fingers.

Antennas search for sound

as wings take flight.

It leaves too soon

on the puff of a breeze.

For one precious moment,

you held life in your hand.

IT COMES IN THE NIGHT

It comes in the night.

It comes to all.

To all who sleep.

To all who lie awake.

It comes on soft wings.

It comes in silence.

I lie and wait.

In trepidation.

In fear.

For it.

THE LAST ONE

I search the night.

A lovely sight.

My wings are spread.

Don’t go to bed.

I see you scurry.

Don’t need to worry.

My talons reach for thee.

In the sky, you’ll soon be.

We’ll soar to my nest.

I will love you best.

I will be the last one you’ll see

before your eyes close for me.

ALONE IN A CEMETERY

ALONE IN A CEMETERY

The wind whispers.

The trees sway.

Air hisses through the leaves.

Shadows lurk between gravestones.

With long robes, they sweep toward me.

A statue looms in the distance.

A winged angel turns her cold face 

and faces me.

A wicked grin curves her mouth.

Her wings take flight.

And so do I.

FLAP YOUR WINGS

Flap your pretty wings

as the bluebird sings.

Prepare to take flight.

Fly with all your might.

Soar through the turquoise sky.

You can never reach too high.

Fly,

Pretty butterfly.

Fly.

A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

It watches.

It waits.

The sun rises.

Fly away pretty bird.

Take a chance.

Spread your wings.

IN THE NIGHT

It comes in the night.

It comes to those who sleep.

To those who lie awake.

It comes on soft wings.

It comes in silence.

I lie and wait.

In trepidation.

In fear.

For it.

FREE

When night comes softly
On feet as light as air,
I can see clearly
Of what I shouldn’t dare.

Alone on this hilltop
With the embracing cold,
Boundaries cannot stop
Me from being so bold.

I want to look at the night,
Gaze out into the unknown,
Dare to dream of my flight,
And dream of where I have flown.

Secrets hidden in darkness,
Beneath a cloak of despair.
Shadows roaming in blackness.
A striking and deadly pair.

At night I can roam free
And sail forth on gossamer wings.
Be all that I can be
No matter what the dark night brings.

ESCAPE

Lead me far away from the darkness.

Up these stairs, I will find my way.

I’m tired of living in this sadness.

Time to scope out a new day.

As I climb, the light taunts me.

It hits me square in the eye.

I squint as I try to see.

I must spread my wings and fly.

I’m thrust into a party at full throttle.

The sounds of laughter and music cocoon me.

I find life outside instead of a bottle.

I fly free and far away from the old me.

WAIT FOR IT

DARE TO DREAM

DARE TO DREAM

When night comes softly
On feet as light as air,
I can see clearly
Of what I shouldn’t dare.

Alone on this hilltop
With the embracing cold,
Boundaries cannot stop
Me from being so bold.

Gaze out into the unknown,
Dare to dream of my flight,
And dream of where I have flown.

Beneath a cloak of despair.

And sail forth on gossamer wings.
Be all that I can be
No matter what the dark night brings.

THE DEAD GAME

FREE

Live for the moment.

Live to be free.

The colors surround me.

I dance to be free.

The birds flap their wings.

The moon shines its face.

The sky and ocean merge.

I love when I’m free.

WAIT FOR THE NIGHT

Wait for the night.

To darken the sky.

In deep shades of red.

To purples fading to black.

Silence follows on gossamer wings.

To quiet uneasy heartbeats.

To soothe roaming beasts.

Wait for the night.

To bring a dark veil on activities.

To unfurl the roaring waves.

Silence is here.

And so is the night.
