Slowly she climbed the stairs, as her
eyes looked upward, out of breath,
she sighed deeply.
Stopping to catch her breath she
wondered if this was worth it.
To hear the whisper of wings.
She did not look back to where she
had come from.
Her clothes shattered and torn.
Burns covering her body, making
it hard for her to move.
A heart of silence within.
She held the key in her hand that
would open the door to hearing the
whisper of wings.
Her heart was heavy, she had lost
all that was dear to her.
Her ears rang with the sounds of,
sirens.
As she could still see the images of
the fire trucks and the ambulances.
The flames rising up in the air, the
smell of smoke lingering on her.
Darkness was setting in as she turned
the key, and opened the door.
She entered in, as the door closed
behind her.
She felt the rooms magic, the sounds
of sirens ceased.
She felt her heart lifted as the pain
withdrew from her body.
A slight smile appeared on her lips.
As she heard the whisper of wings.
She knew they would be together
again.
For the whisper of wings were hers
flying to meet him.
