Hope's Birth

Kept here too long I cannot wait much longer
Not here long enough to become any stronger
We come together joining hands briefly for tonight
We anticipate the time that we fight the good fight

The bond separated and now they've gone so far astray
We lost our grip and quickly the jetstream took us away
I see the face of angels with smiles and cherubic dimples
My friend, the face of devils frowning, clad in crude pimples

With tears wetting my cheek I clutch my chest
My friend the same way, she shot for the west
In deaf screams I threw out my wings and took a pen
I brought them close and wrote myself a poem once again.

I folded my wings in the end at the fall of sun and birth of night.
But unable to sleep, I spread the wings wide and took flight.
These eyes fell upon the earth in search of my friend.
Now and forever I will seek that hand until bitter end.
