Growing Wings
Hidden in the darkness
Bereft of light
Lost in the dungeons
Of endless fright
Their moods transform
Joy into night
Questions for strangers
Forgetting what’s right
Slow states enrich the stage
As a shard of light
Pierces the blackness
Making one spot bright
Step by step, dawn
Pulverizes night
Shattered rays call to
Metamorphose into light
Temporal butterflies emerge
Dried wings soar to an unknown height
Who would have thought
They had such might
Lone stranger watches as
His subjects gain sight
Mesmerized by escaped prisoners
Forever leaving the jail so tight
Joy rebounds and
The wondrous flight
Truth lost for ages
Announces what’s right
His dark photography captures
The ancient night
That records their journey
Into the bright light
