May 12th, 2011.
The slender wings
beat once, beat
twice
through the cool
air of a summer
sunrise as the sun
illuminates the
sleepy town and
families begin their
day
amid the empty
halls of past
celebrations, victories,
loss, the wings become
overwhelmed with
nostalgia
among the lingering
memories of
cramped streets
where love was
lost and
discovered
under the clear
blue sky of this
final day to
wander through the
town, halls, streets,
lives of the
ones that will
stay
behind those
graceful wings
the wind sings
farewell to
memories, childhood,
innocence,
as the slender
wings beat
once, beat
twice,
beat on.
