The Winged Figure in My Dreams

Only in my dreams, am I like the winged seraphs

Yet only a crossbreed, who rules another power

There is no succession to any throne for myself

Rather I be a guardian, by it; my loyalty’s wealth

I was not born in heaven, and I did not, from it fall

Born as a gentle creature when the wings were visibly small

I was the otherworldly spirit, with a separate task

To defend and fight alongside as the neutral party’s mask

And such this power that is mine and mine alone

It is strange and homeward bounding, twisted in color sewn

It’s a power so ancient that humans lost it in their grasp

And only I could hold it, when it burned where passions clashed

These wings of mine are strong and this power it’s deceiving

Reaching highs and other things, to results most intriguing
In wars that none could win, and I flew up high and in fire’s singe

My power built itself to weapons and coursing blasts through the skies that rung

But I was meant to be the neutral, but my heart invoked another say

My loyalty to friends I met, were stronger then the Gods intent

And in battles scorching, I fought along, the ending of the monster’s song

And scars I carry, I carry them bold, defense for my friends in times of old

But age did not treat them kindly, and as the years grew thinner

Did my friends bid me goodbye and with Death went to walk the night

It’s a strange feeling to lose something but know it’s truly never lost

As it is to have a power that both Gods and demons will not cross

These wings they have lifted me high, close to the heavens and the Earth’s undersides

But even all wounds from past death-ridden battles, cannot heal at the age grows old

And Time becomes cruel even though before she was kind

And thoughts become murmurs as the will loses the mind

These bloodstained scars, on my frame and wings, lay me to sleep is places green

Still though my wings hold me tightly, embracing me as we say goodbye

Because only in my dreams, am I like the winged seraphs

Yes, I am the crossbreed, who ruled the other power, and found true happiness before the final nigh
