Broken Wings Unsheathed

Resurrections lone fallen spiritual being, kneeling within the darkness of mine Own tormented soul, broken, fractured at fetters ivory appendages, a flightless Angelic Dark winged angel standing alone, weeping in the nights blackened clouds of utter blindness, a disarmed shield maiden of heavens grace! Seeking the lightning storms final thrust of thunders rapture, my burnt scorched Feathers descend cascading downwards, as melting leaves captured in the Autumn winds of betrayals flame of the sinful heart, left unsheathed! Virtue’s innocence lies slain in the battlefield of mercy’s shamed, shattered Is the core of faith’s fragile child, lost amongst the hailing hurricane, Battered and bruised, the white dove soars beyond clarity’s grasp! Biting tears clash against the bare exposed flesh, stinging with malice’s Hatred, as the face of God shuns this black fleeced lamb, whom broke The vows promise, and interfered in the world of man! Banished daughter of the light, unable to capture the winds of flight, Transcendences none descendant trapped by the loving spirit Willing to help the mortal being, begging for mercy’s compliance! Yet shadowed by the dark illusions of the hastening storm of Ignorance, she shed forgiveness tears on behalf of the unworthy, For in the night humanities brethren turn away from the hungry, Homeless, and the lost children that huddle within the darkness! Thin are the clouds separation, as the storms rage begins to abate Gods anger grows to the point of understandings loving, the grates Of heaven casts shafts of grace, weakened by the hailing wake, The lamb is unable to move amongst the silences eye of the hurricane! Ever gently is lowered the cradle, the rocking crib of the healing Miracle set at the flash points ushering of forgiveness, for the Shepard Has reclaimed that which was lost! In chorus spiritual assembly a small figure sings with heights Reverence’s praise, and the master of the divine smiles Upon this child of light, for her voice shines above all others, For she is the fallen, now arisen with the wings Of the outcastes singed!
