Wings

I stand

On the tallest building

Looking down at the ground

Listening to the wind

Howling in my ears

My mouth begins

To twitch into a smile

My chest

Begins to flutter

With butterflies inside

The shall that

I had on my shoulders

Slips off and runs

With the wind

I watch as

It flies away

Laughing

For I too

Will soon

Fly

My charcoal eyes

Drift down my back

Looking at

My smoky gray

Wings

That will soon

Guide me

Through the sky

The wind picks up

And my black hair

Starts to dance

With grace

I close my eyes

And smell the air

My feet

Start to move me back

I start to race

To the end

And jump

My wings move in the wind

And I start to

Fly
