lost one

Tug ever so gently

Pulling us closer

To briefly meet

In your time of need

You won't remember me

But it was an honor

Please stop thinking so much at night, I need to sleep.

But now it comforts me

I was scared of what lurked in the night

rising,

rising,

with the night caught

in your throat.

lift your wings,

clear your mind,

Caressed by the soft hands of an angel, the beaten ones of a fallen, the rough ones of a demon, or even the powerful ones of a deity.

Your soft voice and tired eyes

Your wings wrapping around me

Sitting with you in the Garden, braiding flowers into each other's hair

The hymns you sang for me

If only I could hold you again

If only you were here with me

I would give anything to be with you again

Are you here on Earth?

Or did you stay?
