You cried out in your sleep
For something the world could not give you
You sought a purity beyond
What the world can be distilled to

In the gloaming you went
Your broken wings having healed you are
Confined no longer to places
Faces
Or even words

In that last fleeting look
I saw your days to come
I saw a fruit tree on a hill

I was thinking of a trapped spirit becoming free as I read this and flying off to eat the fruit.

Nice writing - not sure about the last lines though.
