Falling

A white feather floats
Down from the sky.
Landing among the
Decaying leaves.

Gray skies part
Soft light comes.
Falling from the heavens
A small angel,
Torn and broken wings.

Feathers cascade down
The sky opens as rain falls.
Tears over falling for love.
Hitting the ground
A soft voice echo's all around.

"Do not weep for me,
It is love that I have found.
These tears you shed have come too late,
I cast no blame.
If this is the price I must pay
Then I do so with a smile upon my face,
No love should be forbidden."
