No matter what the day may bring
no matter what the day proclaims
no matter how much the sun or moon accuses,
no matter what the men of earth charge me with
no matter how the ground curses me,
no matter how the stars pout,
no matter how the seas scream
no matter how God kicks and cries and shouts
no matter how the Devil laughs
and tries to condemn,
no matter how time deploys notions
of no pity for us,
no matter the deepest hatreds
of human hearts toward me
no matter the brigade of demons searching,
no matter if they seek me intently
no matter how that no gold
is at the end of the rainbow
no matter how they preach that
the world will end,
no matter how much I seem to owe
no matter how little they seem to desire to lend
no matter the failures, the broken hearts,
the unremembered dreams,
~~~I always have wings. |
Submission Name: I Always Have Wings
