That Which Moves Above Your Broken Wings

Call for that which moves today above your broken wings
with perfect timing familiar as your dreams.
Tonight, what is true will not accuse how you feel
or tell you what to write
in a torrent of questioning schemes.

Declare that I have something the world loves to place
in glass windows forever to be considered
as part of their past.
To once again be able to face themselves
in the morning and have the will to claim
something that will last.

Tell me that the air I breathe is full of wonder and new life
that no nightmare could ever ask
to be part of its story.
When I sit in the moonlight
let me inhale with devotion
instead of spinning inside a shadow’s quarry.

Remember nothing but that which you hear singing
from a soul with no fear,
a sound more beautiful than the wind.
It flows like a drink from a cup,
almost deeper than love itself
when seen through the eyes of that which moves
above your broken wings.

This poem is very beautiful,and the final stanza stands out
Remember nothing but that which you hear singing
from a soul with no fear,
a sound more beautiful than the wind.
It flows like a drink from a cup,
almost deeper than love itself
when seen through the eyes of that which moves
above your broken wings.

Incredible. So much of what you are expressing here I've been feeling and trying to get through to someone myself.

Artwork and words took me on a good trip into myth and story. I like how you made the sea, wind and the broken wing fall together in this story.
"Remember nothing but that which you hear singing
from a soul with no fear, "

An interesting conception of memory and desire.

To live with one's regrets is one thing, to inspire others to do the same is precious. History recalled in any form is a tribute like no other. Man searches for truth and finds it in his or her actions .. forgiveness puts life and love back into broken wings, repairs, sets free and welcomes a whenever return.

Your words raise poetry to another level, your thoughts stir one's own and that's what makes you special. Thank you.
