Long-Awaited

Closing my eyes

at your command

I turned to my ears

in curiosity.

I heard you turn around

and rustle in your bag,

spinning back to me

with another instruction.

Hold my hands out. 

I did as I was told

and you gently placed an object 

into my palm.

I felt its rough surface

and jagged edges

and begged for sight 

to be released.

You complied easily

and I opened my eyes to find

a shell; dirty and smelly

from the beach trip you took

and tried to hide slight disappointment.

But you shook your head and guided my fingers

to open the piece at its hinges

revealing a smooth, light catching surface

"It took me forever to find these." you explained.

"What are they?" I asked in awe

"Your wings."
