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.
