Before Moving

Tears lie still at the back of my heart
Never reach my silent eyes
A simple test is about to start
Measure me up or down to size

Tongue grows tender as I bite back words
Too true, too small, for me to say
Eyes grow weary trapping flightless birds
Who never wished flight anyway

I wish back to silver seas
Rain that smells of peace and purity
Had a sense of fear and surety
In the way we'd laugh and tease

I find myself again upon the wall
Unfinished wings lay folded in my hands
I wait to see your look before I leap
I think perhaps the distance is too deep
But you and I are yet in distant lands
And so, with help or no, I still must fall

Perhaps, when fight is fought, when war is won
We may look back and laugh at what we've done
