Leaves aflame
With sun light fire
Seen through
The stained glass
Reminds me of
The night sky
Falling
With shooting stars
Falling, falling
All is falling
It is time for the earth
To renew itself again
Aided by time and gravity
Keeping it all here
The death and the dying
The brokenness and the shame
They aren’t going with us
When we fly

There are wings
That make us light
As their feathers
Lifting us upward
Like a ballerina’s
Leap
Only we can keep going
And dance and fly
And dip and soar
All with our feet
Off the ground
There are sacred words
That can do the same
Lift our souls up
And through
Dark barriers
Promises
Pulling us forward
To hope
And forgotten dreams
When all seems lost
