Things with Wings

Butterflies and nightingales
Dragonflies and archangels
Kookaburras, mockingbirds
Messengers of all God's words
The Crow, The Phoenix, Pegasus
What wisdom they impart to us
Snowy owls and mourning doves
Bumblebees and lightning bugs
Of the heavens, in the skies
Descending down to you and I
Fae and pixies, sylphs of air
Give us wonder, have us dare
Things with wings that rise above
Teach us freedom, courage, love
