Daniel

Delicate are our wings

Delicate are the wings we spread
So gentle is their flutter
Their rhythmic beat is never felt
As we soar high above the mire

They let us reach beyond our grasp
And to our dreams for us to hold
They lift us from our darkest thoughts
And far above the coming storm

They are our dreams and hopes
The songs that take us far away
Or the Kind words of strangers
The feel of a warm embrace

Yet we are born to yearn for more
To let desire rule our heads
And too often we chose to forget
How delicate are these wings we spread
