Wings
Where the river meets the sand
Meet the sea and the sky
I created a tribute with my grounded extremities
To all Godly creatures that fly
I rested on jagged rock beside smooth stream
To launch my consciousness into the flight of 3rd eye
Oh why, universe, does my time only travel in dream?
It seems that eternity may go by
Before I get my chance to lie
Next to the he, for whom I'd clip my wings,
Next to the he, for whom I'd cease flight and die
