Wings of Gold

Jamie  Holmes
He was a fallen angel who walked the earth

Lost in the despair of man

Consumed by the sins of the world

With blood stains on his hands

Fallen deeper into the empty world

His wings were tattered and torn

Constantly fighting to fly away

Wanting to be reborn

Away from the hatred

Away from the sorrow of man

His glow was fading more everyday

And I cried for him

I prayed for him

He was my fallen angel

The one who was always there

Who listened and took care of me

And saved me from despair

He taught me to love

He taught me to laugh

He was my best friend

My guardian

Then the sins of the world captured him

Imprisoned him in their grasps of drugs and war

Then slowly tore his sole apart

His cries of pain could be heard across oceans

And felt by the rain

I cried for him

I fell into despair

And a piece of my heart was gone

I looked up to the sky

And I knew that he had flown away

He was reborn

With wings of gold

Flying free of all evil

Watching me from the heavens

And inspiring me to go on

So, I go on

I conquer the despairs of this world

With the love that he taught me

And laughter that he gave me

My fallen angel is no longer lost

He is found

Flying on wings of gold.
