Virgin Wings Virgin Wings unfold for the very first time Scattering tiny particles of dust to dance in the light Flickering shadows are cast upon the earth as the Sun illuminates this spectacular sight Weathered hands clasp together upon a knee The newborn angel braces to rise No longer bearing the weight of the world Effortlessly she stands and closes her eyes A magnificent creature with spellbinding radiance and beauty Her eyes sealed shut with arms reaching wide The corners of her mouth slowly ascend Transitioning into a reassuring smile Her eyes slowly open her stare fixated above Feathers quivering anxiously in the cold march breeze Gays shifts toward me and in those eyes I've seen no pain in those eyes. I can see that she is free With gracefulness and power she raises her wings Posing at the top she smiles once again Smiling wide she thrust her wings towards the earth Her journey here has come to an end As the dust settles shadows become lost in the light The darkness of the valley shall be left behind Another angel was born to walk those heavenly shores Leaving us with memories to heal us in due time
