WINGS OF FIRE

This one is for my friend Sarah Fader

I can see it you know
Black beginning to yawn
At the edges of your smile
The gloom that curls up
Inside your distant eyes
The universe ticking by
Like a doomsday clock
I recognize it you know
The darkness that crawls
Into your mood at night
The fog that licks at you
Unraveling your logic
Lurking and tugging
At all your frayed edges
And though you feel lost
Under a million tons of rock
And the weight of life
Crushes your will to cry

You my dear
Have a warrior’s heart
And together we’ll stand
With wings made of fire
