Ascension

Broken
Trembling as a leaf
in cruel winds
Fading like
falling petals of
a flower in frost
Pain cringes
inside my veins
as darkness creeps
through me
crowding the edges of
my eyes
Tears from love
over me
as I fall
finally
Bright wings
like a caress
on my skin
guide me
upwards, toward
light
All is quiet
We will be okay
End.
