The sea strains for the sand, pulling, grasping at each precious granule, Their lovers embrace shattered with the rise and fall of the tide. But I am not the sea. The sky is not my sand. "Reach for the stars" They say. How? When I am bound. Chained to the rocks Shackles made of iron Caressing my feet I reach for my sky My haven, my light But I cannot For my wings are far too Small, To carry my weight. And I fall And fall And fall Until I am grounded. A fallen angel Yet again.

Grounded
The sea strains for the sand, pulling, grasping at each precious granule, Their lovers embrace shattered with the rise and fall of the tide. But I am not the sea. The sky is not my sand. "Reach for the stars" They say. How? When I am bound. Chained to the rocks Shackles made of iron Caressing my feet I reach for my sky My haven, my light But I cannot For my wings are far too Small, To carry my weight. And I fall And fall And fall Until I am grounded. A fallen angel Yet again.
