What I am feeling today:

Fallen Angel

A fallen angel,
Who has forgotten how to fly.
He looks at his comrades,
Who sail the deep blue sky.

Forgotten how to fly,
Yet remember the feel of flying,
It is such a pain,
Which one with no wings could ever feel.

He remembers those days,
When he was but a trainee angel.
Yet he could fly,
And sail the deep blue sky.
Now no longer can he fly.

He wished he was that trainee,
Who once could fly.
But if he was that trainee, he wouldn't know how to walk.
If he was that trainee, he wouldn't know much today.

With each step he takes, he sinks deeper down into the Earth.
One day it will be, that the Earth will bury him whole .

He mustn't stop walking,
Or so the God has said.
If he ever stops walking,
His wings will burst into flames.

Yet walking and walking, he sees nature's friends.
They who never knew flight do not sink into the ground.
Only he, and those fallen angels who forgotten how to fly,
Shall always sink deeper and deeper down.

Sinking deeper and deeper,
This Fallen Angel goes.
He walks the path of life,
Yet the path swallows him whole.
Struggling and struggling he walks,
Till one day he is no more.....
