   Aurora's Path

   Give me feathers

   So I can perch on a lone, mighty branch

   And feel each quill rise

   To meet the wind.

   I want to measure my soul

   Against the horizon

   And find it never ending.

   Though the sun may set

   The distant mountains glow

   With the expectation of stars

   Which call me on to hover,

   Like the whisps of clouds...

       To alight upon Aurora's Path

       To soar within the evening shroud

       To sail until the monrning's breath

       To lift a wing and conquer death.
