The Mend

While you are counting petals

I’m counting pieces

While you are throwing to the wind

I’m sewing them back on

While you are destroying beautiful

I’m reconstructing passion

While your heart seems lost now

I’m building what I’ve found

While your wings are bent broken

I’m reattaching mine again

While you kneel stripped naked

I’m mending my scars within

While your rainclouds are looming

I’m bringing the wind soon, friend

While we are in two different places

I’m learning to fly further each time

While your world seems gloomy

I’m trying to bring the light, amen

While your tears douse your flame

I’m carrying an inferno tonight

While today may not be your day

I’m sharing my shine mid flight
