Beneath your wing

Don’t let me fly too far from you my love

Into my fragile flights of fantasy

Nursed on abandonment

Long past

It could be easy for the airy me

To take flight

Feeling an air of threat

When you arrive

Sounding out voices of love

And earthly steadfastness

I feel the terror quaking deep in flesh

When you open your heart to me

 

I would rather that I find myself a home

Beneath your wing

Just for a while

For I have like Lilith

So many times been air borne

Because earthly life seemed to negate me so

But now as your tender soul

Truly recognises my own

I long to rest for just a while

In tenderness

Safe warm and comforted

Beneath your wing
