Little Wing

by Tony Whitaker


There is a place for you above
where the angels
live and love
a place where
we’ll forever be
for on this earth
we’ll never see

A space where time is
ours to keep
a place where we can
be at peace
but now my brow
is furrowed deep
to wait until
our big sleep

For on this earth
time stands still
my heart for her
beats death’s knell

She must never ever know
this love for her
must never show
for now her notes
in time belong
in another’s
favorite song

But I promise
you this day
we’ll stay friends
along the way
we’ll laugh and sing
live what life brings

But know someday
you’ll see me wait
with smiling eyes
at Heaven’s Gate

Amazing work, as always. I think I like the closing most of all.

This is too sweet. It makes me ache from it. *content sigh for some unknown reason*. You know, sometimes, just sometimes, the impossible CAN happen.
