Sound the Siren

Disappearing in the imaginary abyss won't help unless coming back with something real The winged sap wades alone equipped with a razor sharp edge only when she flies does it dull, softening to become fully fledged Singing to herself across the break as she coasts closer to the peak Time passes by another week Another long time and still no sounds And in that silence, she drowns

Wrote this so many years ago but it never felt finished. I think it's ready to be shared.
