The Wings of Morning and Dusk

A silver hush arrives at the appearance of dawn
Fragile wings are cradled by the suns embrace
The torpor rest sheds its nocturnal heavy coat
Releasing the shackles of the tired moons long face

They fly carrying the dreams we've left behind
Through trees and fields where ancient spirits roam
Each flutter leaving a trail of iridescent stars
Leading those who are lost gently back home

We watch their elegant purposeful strides
As they dance until the silence folds the day
The twilight has come to hold their wings
Safely heading home as they drift away

Absolute Love

She watches all with compassionate eyes
Staying behind because of absolute love
Keeping her from flying far away
Into the heavens where she belonged
Joining the rest of stars in the sky

She collected all lost souls of humanity
Washed them clean with pure loving light
Remaining safe within her ethereal silk
Until the time is ready for them to fly
Bringing balance to a lopsided world

She lifts herself to dance in the open sky
Reborn butterflies fly to cover the world
They leave a trail of her essence behind
As she slowly dissolves away into the night
A smile is last seen as she fades away
