Wings

Take your wings, my angel -

Of shimmering quicksilver,

Pinions of moonlight
To carry you through the night.

Take your wings, my angel -

Once again fly destiny's
Long course across the sky,
Through the clouds, against the wind.

Take your wings, my angel,

Lift and spread their weight and breadth -
Soar through scattered stars,
Turning towards dawn's promise.

Take your wings, my angel,
Out of darkness bring your fire.
Come, bringer of light, sing -
Angel, flame on in your flight.
