As I stand and wait inaudible quakes ripple across my heart craving to be near,

In the wings hopeful, reaching for the memories forever reflected in my tears,

 

If only I had wings to fly to the depths of your despair,

Heroically I would cradle you, secured in the ways that I care,

 

Consuming shadows of endless days gone by, humble in your presence,

Longing for the lost simplicity that encapsulates you at the very essence,

 

Tired, sweeping, hallucinating sleep,

That brings me close to the peace in which I seek,

 

This life I grew inside of me, blossoming, courageous and strong,

Now the accomplished adult, in search of a place to belong.
