We are each of us one-winged angels,
Only locked in embrace can we soar.

They said we'd fly and ache and fall,
Drown in the abyss of contrition.
But holding on tight we believe,
Kiss the winds and hug the skies,
Untiringly finding rest in each other.

Wings floating on the cushion of love,
Hearts unburdened, aware of the smiles
Playing on our lips, lighting up
The heavens, the cosmos, the earth.

And should a day come, when all entities
Can engage in solo flight, and nothing more
The world will see what we always knew:
We are both angels sharing one heart,
Only locked in embrace will we choose to soar.
