Echoes of Angels

On wings of angels we fly
Hidden in clouds of innocence
A life lived in denial
Protected by our ignorance

I can’t swallow this
Choking on the lie
Like a fly caught in the throat
As days pass us by
Can we see clearer?

Testament to a broken dream
As our angels drop from the sky
Faded feathers fall as autumn dies

Dry leaves on sullen ground
Fall like dead ash
As the day breaks
All that’s left is an echo of the past
