And the Winged Shall Fly

I heard the shadows whisper as you peeled
so tirelessly bare, your aching skin.
Told how the darks cold quickening, you healed,
as midnight ink brought silence to the din.

Oh how the days they echoed back your fears,
of what the coming nights would hold in store…
from darkness’s unrivaled, came your tears,
but truth has set you free and healed the score.

Tore back the weeping chains that held you bound,
embracing that new sense when you stepped free.
The sun now holds no fear but warmth of sound,
the healing balm of laughter poured as sea.

How beautiful the moon in your new sky,
your stained skin shed, your wings now spread to fly.
