Heartbeat slow, pair of
wings, locomotive climbing
up the ancient pass.

“She made broken look beautiful, and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.”
Every pair of wings
spends some unsure time having
not yet touched the sky.
—Red Leaf Haiku by © John Clark Helzer
If I had a pair of wings
I'd pick you up and fly you far away from here
And you'd put your worries upon my shoulders, my dear
Now I know I can't save you
From the troubles of the world
And this sounds like such a silly thing
But if I could I'd fly you away
On a big old pair of wings
All that I want is
A pair of wings to fly
Into the blue of
The wide open sky
