No Wings
Did Heaven send you
When the sky broke?
Did the angels let you fall?
Did I catch you in time
To see your wings unfurl?
Did the light blind me
Mangling my thoughts
From a time before?
When sound had meaning
Words spoken held true
A time when spells
Were written on the wind
To change the fate of those outside
When Knights rode on white horses
And maidens changed their fate
With a token hidden beneath his sleeve
Of silk and lace
A whisper of hidden promises
Should the Knight be bold and win the day
The lady’s hand would be his to take
No knight’s ride is planned today
It is only I that stands in your way
With a token held, my promise sealed
Within a ring of gold…
