Levitate

Tangled hair and knotted brow,

In the empty cage of her mortal being

Resonated the much sort after 'how?' ;

Confusion sprawled across her face

It adorned the crevices of that angelic maze;

Forging a bond, akin to dress and lace,

Wings of doom approached with haste;

Cacophony and pandemonium

The unbelievable match,

As lovers they embraced

And her fate sealed like a door latched;

She, merely a parchment

On which time had done it's wonders,

Day after day, the sun Rose and died

Breath after breath, the veiled sky curbed all it's cries

Time the author , And fate the ink

The cup is filled, it threatens to leave the brink

Slipping a little here and a little there

The permanent potion has been mercilessly spread

Pages were over

Will was lost

The script was done

Like a valiant warrior she fought

Alas, the judgment day she couldn't outrun

The beating stopped

The pulse vaporised

Sands of time had turned to the other side

Peacefully she lay

As she gave it all away,

Hands by her side

Eyes at rest,

The mortal being had passed her test;

Life was now bursting out it's seams

As she approached the blinding beam

For long she was forced in a cage to hide

But now she has risen to become heavens pride.
