He was a soul 

unburnt by the fires he'd walked through

a quiet whisper hung from his lips every time he spoke

which was often 

 

His words told of dream places

and far away nights

where hushed memories came and fell and crashed-

he would spend hours with staples and glue

 

There was nothing and everything grand about him

handfuls of broken things he kept close

I guess that's why I loved him

Imperfections, so perfect

 

He was a soul

just like many

full of too many things he wanted to do

and never enough time

 

His wings were just hollow bones

the crown on his head sometimes weighed too much

but he spoke of those blazes and ashes he'd kiss

and the whispers, well they became all he needed to teach me how to fly
