The wings I've longed for.



I daydream in public
of take fluent flight
in key with the sun and sky
reflect vibrant light
into hopeless eyes
for when i'm happy I'll only heal the world
keepy my energy take it
let me be the part of you that wants you to make it
don't be scared and shake it
I have steel wings now
more silver than the moons beam
after being deeply enchanted of a wolf's howl
my love for everyone travels more softly
than the hoot of an owl
they hurt me the frau
but when I'm like this I forgive easy.
