defiant angels

I fell into the deepest of sleeps
Beneath an unfamiliar tree
In an ominous wood
With an unfamiliar me

The final quiver of my eyes
Waved the world goodbye
My breath hollowed
As they fell from the sky

Shadows shuttered
Voids halted in veneration
The wind plays with my hair
Death is nearly here

Composed of sighs and souls
Fog hands snatched me from the moss
Though they poses no eyes
I sense they are soft

Beneath your hoods and cloaks
I never want to see
The true form of any
Foolish enough to carry me

Floating down a road
I ran alongside
Skipped while day dreaming
Never though, have I walked it
Strolled, even

For once I will return home
With a relatively clean dress
And mother will be pleased
For she will need to scrub less

Wait, I had forgotten
The lack of air in my chest
It all consumed me
This canopy of death  

Home is no more
Nor is life, nor I
I'll sleep here forever
In the arms of sighs
