Tainted

Once so innocent and pure,

You're now a tainted creature...

Your white wings have gathered dust...

The time has come, my dearest lover

To spread them high.

The blood that you've been drinking

Has turned your wings to black.

But now you've grown into your skin

And have become yourself,

Now there's a woman in your shoes

And will begin your life.

Although you're tainted now, my dear

You have always been...

This has been your destiny

For all these centuries.

But in your tainted glory, love,

You have lived your life.

In your last moment alive

Take off into the bloody sky.

[Wolfwind Words]

I think this piece is about the coming of age and the ascension into the ranks of the elders worlds. It speaks of a destiny that must be fulfilled, with no way around it. Only time or at least our perception of it, influences such transcending pathways.

One of the unique aspects of this piece that caught my eye was how the ground seemed to be the light, or divine zone, while the places above were the dark. Rather opposite than most would subscribe too.

Overall It was well written and told a story through woven ink! Great Poem!

Hugs!
