I shared time with the universe
walked with the stars standing brightly at my side.
held hands with a rainbow colored for my enjoyment.

Impressed upon my shoulder lay a hand
the hand of my conscious.
guiding me gently through unchartered territory.
Inventing ways to avoid danger.

Hapless I have lost my wings
the only gift I had given myself.
Rest assured, I did not faulture in losing them,
I gave them to the homeless, the unfortunate, the lonely.
I gifted them to the child abused,
the elderly with nothing.

I left no one without only me,
yet my wings will fly
my guilded feathers will show them the way,
joy will reach them for eternity.

But what of I
what of the holes I have left in my blades,
can I fill them in?
can I reshape the one feather left
into a force of Godliness.

I know my way home,
I know where to lay my head,
I know where my heart is each and every beating second.

I am not undone
I am here, in this moment
sharing this message with you.
I am nothing and everything in return.
