A Love through Life

I travel through life with dark black wings
The blood smeared sand strips my feet of flesh.
Nearby i see groups of misshapen things,
I struggle over held back by mesh.

I pray and pray for their hurts and pains,
An age goes by and finally they shine in thanks.
I rise in the air with my feathers light as grains,
I fly towards the ocean and fall upon their banks.

Again the blood smeared sand strips the skin,
I scream in agony and leap into the ocean.
Surrounded by sorrow i swim and swim,
Until i find the sands were like moisturising lotion.

Again i find the misshapen creatures,
Unable to speak i swim and kiss their heads.
I give them my blessings through their ugly features,
The masks fall away their horror shreds.

I rise up to the clouds my wings now red,
Summoning my strength i dry up the sea.
Pain sears through my body until i know that i am dead,
Tears stream down my face as i wonder how this could be.

The pain suddenly stops and i look around in wonder,
Facing downwards i see the endless sorrow.
I solved the worlds problems yet the world was in thunder,
Something was missing as i screamed out for the morrow.

I see my wings and cry out at the change,
Not black or red but blue like the sky.
I search the skies for the answers that range,
All i ever wanted to know in my life was WHY.

Why do i feel the hole in my heart,
What could be missing as i unburden the world.
I realise i am nothing but a rusted dart,
My life flashes before my eyes and i see my soul hurled.

But then i hear a melodic voice in the night,
I cry for its beauty and search for its source.
I don't see a thing and i go back into blight,
Again i drop and the sand sears my heart through a course.

I hear the voice again and my heart flickers hope,
It gives off a feeling and realise it is love.
My eyes turn golden and I no longer mope,
I unfold my wings and give my spirit a shove.

I cannot see you or feel you or give you a kiss,
Tears stream down my cheeks as I resonate fear.
I don't want to lose you or give your love a miss,
So I live life alone and know that you are always near.
