The hopes in her
heart fell asleep
when the pain
broke her dawn
and the blush
of the clouds
dissipated
into quicksand
as laughter died
on her lips while
her radiant colors
dimmed as she
closed her wings
in a cocoon of
bleeding silence
healing to
be reborn love
once more
praying only
for life
to kiss her
light once
again
