Ochre Winged Sprite

Quemis

How goes it now?
Ochre wing sprite?
Have you been out dancing
Without your light?
Is your magic dispersed?
Used up in flight?
Did all of your vision
Cost you your sight?

Ochre wing sprite
Can you puzzle this?
The harder you aim
The further you miss

Such cruel symmetry
Love, life, and loss
For dreams of the sky we
Die in the moss

You do not look well
My fae of gold
Your wings are ashen
Your eyes are cold
The darkness consumes
If you've naught to burn
Magic powerless
If we never learn

The music we share
Is a fragile hum
Let us not be careless
With sword and drum
If you spend your life
Dreaming in the mirror
I'll pray that you wake
Recall that I'm here

Ochre wing sprite
Can this riddle solve?
The more fear escaped 
The less resolved

Such Cruel symmetry
Love, life and loss
For dreams of the sky we
Die in the moss
