Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel

I tripped on my wings while chasing love down,

fell on my face breaking my crown

I didn’t expect it this time around

Did you?

Did you?

Slipped on my gown breaking my heart,

tore it apart

Been through this time and again

I will get up but I don’t know when

Do you?

Do you?

Once was here

 

 

Once was here

 

 

The eagle’s feather,

once was here, flying

on my dresser

in the mouth of the angel, open to the sky

an art piece, I bought, after

It reminds me of her,

every time I pass

She looked like this ~ this angel,

as she lie on her bed, my mother

when she died,

as she was taking her last breath

She is resting now ~ at last

I saw her today

through my bathroom window

as I was filling bottles with fragrant oils

scents, I use

when I heal wounds,

left

deep within those who don’t know peace

yet

She stopped breathing

but I knew

like the eagle knows the cry,

the screeching of his mate

Alas, the feather and I
and the eagle,

wait
