Scorched Wings

Covering my children with my wings
the dragon is stirring
spitting his fire targeting their tender hearts
scorching my wings turning them black
 
I'm a mamma fighting
the tides of lava that seek to carry them away
place them on my back and take flight into the heavens
 
Place them at the feet of our creator
safe at last from the powers that be  
then sigh a breath of relief
