Alate

We were the wings

Of a world

And you always told me

There was a special kind

Of mercy, reserved

For those who

Know the weight

Of existence.

Author's Note

Alate - having wings; winged

Reviews

[Beatrice Mars]

I love this (and apparently can't start reviews any other way) it feels so hopeful, but desparing, and 'the wings of a world,' is filled with so much responsibilty, and the use of 'a' instead of 'the' opens up so many possibilities...love....

[Aarontastic]

I like it.
