Flight

 cradled in the darkest feathers

carried through the night

moonbeams falling on pale flesh

wings heaving through the air

chilling to the skin

thrilling to the soul

forest hymn arises from the wind

heralding the choir of chaos

calling from the stars above

eyes darker than the nocturne veil

peer into the innocence held in its bosom

no issuance of terror from lips

frozen yet in the hypnotizing abyss

behind the wings, and feathers, and eyes

yet this theft was freely given

a release from a cell of misery

originating within crosses and clergy

rooted in judges, scripture, and fire

this order that knows no bounds

except for the ones they indulge in

ignoring the natural order of the chaotic choir

that descends from the stars far above

the creatures calling from the wild

offering the escape from those prisons

on wings that sail through the unknown

fueled by the reaper's breath

freedom passed on through truth, love

or in this oh too often case, death
