Analysis of Wings Write Names
Goodbye friends of old, roam well the light,
we shall remember your smiles and wisdom,
words, will flicker on hearts then reunite
powerful emotions with tears; handsome
in their beauty, their sighs which mourn tonight,
prayers will be aired, grief, it will not succumb
our pleasure; recalling your life's delight,
but sing of the moments sealed by the thumb.
Heaven will honour you, flapping angels
as we here bow our eyes to free our love;
curling like wrapped wisps of soft fragrant flames.
The whole world will listen to swinging bells;
their notes a pleasantry; peace-like - the dove,
feathery expectation, wings write names.
