On Gossamer Wings
From the flat
Of my back
I watched
Love
Fly away on gossamer wings
Just as it was given, so quickly it was taken away
Breathless,
Curled in the fetal position
I was helpless
From the flat of my back
I watched
Love fly away
On gossamer wings
I watched
Life bring
Me Curious things
From the flat of my back
I watched
Love
Fly away
Then
The
Winds of change came
And the summer night air
Dried the windswept tears
And
The
Tranquility of
The glowing
Stars
Soothed the empty hole in my heart
That was aching
On
gossamer wings
My strength has come back
Gossamer wings
Don’t always bring painful things.
From the flat of my back
I watched love fly away
Gone for now, but not for always
On gossamer wings
But it will come back
And
The bird will sing
