Echoes of Wings

Lyrics

A shimmer fell through a silent dawn
Feathers like echoes where hush belonged
Held too close, the starlight dimmed
The cage was open—but love grew thin

Taught by silence, not by hand
The breeze wrote lessons in the sand
One green flame, one blue tide
Their songs unspoken, yet clarified

[Verse 2]
Mirrors in ivory, keys unplayed
They danced to notes I never made
One stumbled in a moment's quake
I stitched the wind, for healing’s sake

Time, the quiet surgeon, passed
They rose again, no questions asked
And in their gaze I saw my name
Not spoken—etched in sky and flame

[Chorus]
Wings once folded, now collide
In circles drawn beyond the tide
Not caged, not gone—not tethered, no
They taught me how to let them go

[Verse 3]
Once I wandered, dim with fear
City swallowed all I held dear
But stars remembered, shadows knew
The path to find my way back through

I came with stories to bestow
But all I found was open snow
Two empty perches, warm with grace
Their leaving etched into the space

[Bridge]
Now years turn pages, wind-bent lines
I read their shapes in woven signs
Two little sparks in lion’s flight
Now myth and morning, dusk and light

[Final Chorus]
Wings once folded, now unfold
In dragon's fire and phoenix gold
Not sorrow now—just awe and flame
They fly, yet whisper still my name

[Outro]
So I remain, the root, the sky
And watch them rise, and do not cry
For love was never meant to stay—
But to become the wind someday
