missing wings

have i touched an angel
fresh, soft petals
gently fragile
purity of the pearl
innocent trusting
fading faith missing wings
a heartbeat that makes you hold
your breath
afraid something so precious
might shatter irrevocably
what role do i play
the thorns, oyster or wings
wonder why our paths crossed
an intense need to mend a lifetime's hurt
in a moment
with aching heart i look up
and feel the tears vying with the smile
touched by an Angel i feel so small inside
the wings are there.. just weighed down
with constant cruelty sensitive hurting heart
i need to make him believe feel his wings again
as his heart soars with happiness at last seeing himself
for i see a blessing even God's smile
touched by this miracle that's you....
