(4th week of August 2020)

These Wings

Lift weary and slow
this aching perspective
These tired eyes
This exhausted view

Remember apathy
is a quick path
to the regret that fear
warns you of

Downtrodden and nearly
giving up on tomorrow
until some glimpse
opens a window in a dream

There stands a shadow
A stranger named Hope
and a vision of the day
it all turns back

Rest up to gather
the wind and a lift
For you will yet arise
Look at these wings
