Analysis of Wings of a fly
An old women held up the wing of a fly and heard an angel speaking to another angel.
The angel said this heart of feathers is for you cradle your feather in its down and love me and our legion for all eternity. Take one for you and keep it in your robe and remember how I cradled you in my arms.
Then he realised the dead flies wing was half a love heart shape and he tried to keep the wings and watch as there delicate love heart faded into the atmosphere, but they never did.
Before the flies wings had a chance to decompose she was finally looking at her guardian angel themselves. His wings crossed together like a manger. And he asked her to to take on his carriage to heaven.
