Big Wings

She sat beside the lake On a little hump on the bank Unable to climb anymore Even the tiniest obstacles Couldn't go on anymore Saddened Down On a slope like her life itself The darkest night had befallen her Yet the beautiful skies were alive The small stars glowed into bigger stars Twinkling Sparkling the waters below Reflections ablaze Hope, hope, hope Up, up, up White wings of brightness Fell light to her Heaviness She felt it in her heart She knew it in her mind She could fly further than her pain
