Heel of the melting wing:

There is no love
Where you may stand above
There is no rain, nor pain
I must have embellished.

In time one can see far
Crouching over heaven
Touching the eyes of glass
That god gave to human kind.

Inch by inch we travel
Suffering in sweet serenity
Asking only a handyman
To heel us forward.

I justify god
Through my prayers
But I rather not in secrecy
Although, there is a time when
Man needs a more intelligent being
If there is one.

When you see yourself
As agile,
You disagree with age
Many try to fight it,
And become a young hearty worker
When the time for work is not necessary.

There is a time,
To live,
There is a time,
To die,
The in-between is useless,
Do what you will with it.
