Wings
A path to freedom
where the sky
spread out wide
spread yourself
and prepare
for the longest journey
A path to eternity
where the heaven
welcome you
with open arms
pray and be
enlightened
A path to excitement
where you can
see the whole world
orbiting at your will
the wonders you
will never forget
A path to death
where the hunter
thought you were a bird
and shot you down
and realized a fallen angel
had descended
A path to torture
where you go back hell
and receive
judgement once again
and then you wonder
why do angels have wings
in the beginning?
I had shared this poem entry over at Jingle Poetry for The Poetry Potluck Week #3, a place for poets to share and encourage, you can check out others’ sharing at Jingle Poetry too!

and then you wonder
why do angels have wings
in the beginning?
beautiful imagery.
superbly structured.
stunning poem.
A path to death
where the hunter
thought you were a bird
and shot you down
and realized a fallen angel
had descended
I love that! I see the scene in my mind. Such sorrow and confusion…
Beautiful lady! Happy poetry potluck!
It is a wonderment — bittersweet, paradise lost– and will it ever be regained? Beautiful sad tale.

Ah, why indeed? A wistful write– nicely done!
My potluck is here: http://mairmusic.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/week-68/
Sometimes, certain questions seem too simple to answer…and yet, too complex! The points you have made, seemed exactly like those questions…
Nicely put, Riika…
Is death really necessary to see the beauty of it all? If life really necessary to see the ugliness of it all?
Enjoyed your thought provoking poem, girl…bravo! It’s great that you shared it with poetry potluck! MWAH!
