the flood

I fear I am alone now
My wings so tired
Free as a bird so long
But far from my God
My life, my choices
My family, my home
They are merily memory now
The land below me swallowed
The heavens above sheding tears
They cried for me
But much too late
My feathers tattered
As I search
My vision fading
Above me, below me
Nothing but blue
The lost son
Never to return
The flood
With no redemption
No where to land
No where to rest
No where to die
My wings so tired
I know I am alone now
