Fallen Angel, We Shared the Sky

For a day of many sleeps
with the earth as our pillow
we shared the sky

roots were deep
limbs strong
limbs supple
wings wide
sacred glade fertile

leaves from lips
taken by the wind
dried to dirt
given by the rain
to mud

sacred glade no more
you share only earth
for upon it
there is proof
of your tread

wings do not mark the sky

for a day of many sleeps
with the earth as our pillow
we shared the sky
