spreading wings
By Mina Ellyse Warren
September 2, 1996

alone
in the shadows
i feel your breath beside me
i hear your voice call my name

and i dream

reality can be so binding
finding barricades built up around me
so many echoes from the past

and i wander
amidst the wreckage of my creation
wondering
where i lost my way

and i know
the dreams i seek
stay close around me
awaiting the realisation
that other dreams have died

reality can be so yielding
as the barricades fall find me there
so many echoes fading to the past

and i wander
amidst the pristine world of my creation
dreaming
of losing myself in you

and so to you
so far away
i whisper sweet words of love
and i feel the dreams awake within me
and i spread my wings
to the sky
and i fly
