Under Your Wings

As the dark of the night closes in,

You take me under your wing

You protect me from unknown horrors

The colors of your wing

Red, yellow, blue, green,

Hover over me.

As you take me under your wing

I can hear the noises of the night

You protect me.

The moss in the tree-

Squishing under my talons.

The creak of the branch under out weight,

The crickets chirping.

As you take me under your wing I think—

I think about the efforts to save our home

Human efforts

If human efforts succeed, we will be free

We can live out our years

I will be free and safe—

Under your wing.

As the pitch black of the night drones on

I am still under your wing

I am free and safe
