You hold me in your pledge
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I feel your wings around me and this cage is getting stronger
I pray for myself and the prayers last much longer
The poems grow more loving as your feathers plump around me
I say i'm okay now sometimes
But your light begins to surround me
People start to visit me
Feathers and coins appear to move at my feet and hands
Smiles seem sensual again
and eyes begin to talk
I feel your wings around me and this cage is getting stronger
My heart brings light and my breaths are deeper
I listen harder to the night and the day
I say I'm okay now sometimes
but a sun seems to be there and never goes away
I say ill make it brighter and I mean it sometimes
I try my hardest to forgive and often remember why because
I feel your wings around me
