Don'T Lay Your Wings Down To Die
I stood behind my deep breath
with evidence sorrows leaking
from my eyes,
From next door a curious old
poet
walk by with a tongue of
questions
before I could reply he said
"Don't drown yourself in your
in your deep breath,
because this world make you
cry.
Don't throw yourself in a den of
darkness,
to get eaten by the roaring
nights,
because this world is standing
in your light
Brace your face against
the moonlight for a while,
so this world see the glow of
your smile.
When the earth change shape
and
get flat again, don't dangle the
edge,
Live to let everyone see
the grace in your style".
As he further recite his poem
I left go off my tears and held
on
to a smile.
The final stanza of his poem
end with
these words " don't lay your
wings down
to die "
