Flying...

by firexdancer   May 9, 2007


A tear brighter than a star,
comes shimmering down from afar,
a wing of gold,
a tongue of flame,
yet this can only lead to shame.

A fear now thrown away,
joyfully welcoming the day,
so impossibly alive.
Four paws of stone,
now running home.

A dream now come to life,
by teeth sharper than a knife,
tail streaming out beneath.
As it screams in it's exalted state,
yet happiness is always too late.

Muscles tired from standing,
wings too sore for landing,
it all was just a dream.
Too long standing on a pedestal,
for this, even god can fall.

Even the darkness sparkles in his majesty,
king of honor and honesty,
yet unseen by all.
And a lion stands alone,
on his golden throne.

And a tear brighter than a star,
can only fly so far,
before it hits the ground.
A feather floating down,
to settle on his crown.

    ^This and this stanza:
    Even the darkness sparkles in his majesty,
    king of honor and honesty,
    yet unseen by all.
    And a lion stands alone,

    This was very different than most poems I read, Fantastic fantasy is the only way to describe it. It was very moving and impossible to write to all but the most creative of minds. To that i give you 5/5. This really got me thinking.
