Prophecies
She lets herself fall to the earth,
How great her pain was.
A never ending cycle.
Darkness fills the sky,
Diving after her.
Like a lost puppy it follows.
Her eyes glisten blue
Reflecting the skys' anger
Crackling and gasp fill the ground below
all eyes focused on the shadow That seeks redemption
Rain fills the sky
Being fired from the sky like arrows
Heartbeat increases
The wind roaring through
A sudden thump from behind
The ground pulling her in
The two cloaks outstretch their reach
The wings swim beneath the clouds
The agony pulls her away
Despite the freedom and air
The chains and locks help secure
Exposed and open a dangerous act
Back to the safe and secure
Her trial ends now and back to the sky she must return
The wings climb the darkness that leads
Her feet touch down
The soft safe haven
Eyes flutter open inviting light
Curtains brushed aside and pages flipped
An empty room with nothing but restless sleep,
A nightmare turned dream.
Why isn't happiness all it seems?
