Whispered Dreams

[to_exist]

faded dreams
whispered memories
holding onto what was once lost
darkness settles into light
mind churns dauntingly
and beneath the furrowed brow
her wings spread gracefully

snowy meadows
falled captures of hope
lost and listless
hearts tread wearily
among the waded water of faith
her innocent white wings
glitter with fantasies

what once was lost,
but now is found
lies dormant inside her soul
for all she do is accept
even as her world falls to pieces
tattered wings of dewy evenings
remain widespread
ready to catch anyone who may fall

undoubtedly,
light fades to darkness
and only then does the rain fall
tears glisten on her pale cheeks
dark hair matted to her porcelain skin
ruby red lips swollen
brown eyes gaunt and emotional
the perfect portrait of a fallen angel
a reflection of what lies on the inside

behind the image,
the angel,
the broken little girl cries
for what she's lost
what she's found
and what she has

as the rain begins to settle,
darkness changing to light
her image now perfect and clear
brown eyes large and inquisitive
ruby red lips wide in smile
dark hair fluffy, curly down her back

faded dreams
whispered memories
hidden raptures of dreams
questions left unanswered...
her wings remain spread
for she knows
one day she'll know all she wants to

then and only then,
will she learn to fly again
