Wings Of Light Poem by Rosmin Elsa Mohan

A flash in the night
Gave me wings
And took me to the land
Void of strings
I flew for a while
Roughly a mile
Then in aghast
I saw the Light
Bright and full of might
Flashing through the snaring night

I went past the night
Past my thoughts
My life..my sight
I saw memories of childhood
Flashing past
Laughter and play so lightening fast
In a moment I was an adult
Lust and greed in a moment of truth
Revealed itself in its naked skin
I hid myself with my wings
Blinded.
The Light
kept flashing by
I was now old n weak
Bones now cracked
Faces did I seek
My vision was blurred
As I fell deep into the dark
My life left me
My soul was awake
My limbs went numb
My self at stake
As I floated amidst the starry night
above the moon, so light

I knew I did die
But those wings fluttered by!
