A beautiful poem. No wasted words. Told a complete story with a positive ending in so few words. I like the ending.
"I am yours
We are one
Winged beauty
Fly
Love
Be"
Thank you for the amazing poetry.

A side note before I begin: Is it supposed to be highlighted in green? (I'm just wondering. It's an interesting choice.)
Okay, so I love your verbs - I like how you use them. They're well placed and very strong. I like the idea and your comparison of it to a map as well as enfolding and comforting wings. I like the pain that slowly turned into love and happiness, and it warms my heart to read it. It makes me smile to read that last stanza.
I am forever learning about myself, always on that path that is me and all I am. I stray from the path from time to time, but that too is a learning experience. I started to write poetry in my teens.. more..
