Ash Heart


A familiar ghost enters me once again, yet this time, I remain, not totally unafraid, but strong, within myself, and within its presence.

''...he thought it was a swan spreading its wings.''

'Where have you been all my life?' she said.

Right here, waiting, where I have been for always.

I remembered you, sitting on the swing, ever so patiently, dusting your wing, just waiting, just waiting.
Now I am ready for change,I am ready to really fly now. 
All this time spent collecting my feathers,
I finally found them, my beautiful wings; I made them; such delicate things.
I am ready to fly now.

''He knew nothing about it at all, couldn't even dream of her once.''


''I sit patiently and quietly. I know what I am, and this I shall remain.''

Quite fine, just like a darning needle.
