Finding My Wings

 

The most beautiful place on earth

is a bay shaped like a wineglass,

 

pure indigo, battling with moon shine

for the planet’s grace in Heaven.

 

We struggle, we stand, we triumph over defeat.

we play, we fly –

 

Our wings sound like a trio of butterfly lullabies

serenading our dreams.
