For Fear of Flight

Where are you going, whispering wings
(to the garden's edge, past the gate)

Why will you leave your most precious love
(how can I stay)

What if there is nothing beyond, only ugliness
(he made me beautiful)

What is your saddest thought
(losing him)

What if the wind tears you down from the sky
And the rain dampens your wings
What if you never find your way back to this garden
(I will remember that I was truly loved)

Why are you crying, whispering wings
(because at this moment I am truly loved
and I don't understand why I must fly)

(wings can be such terrible things)

(I will tremble in his arms tonight)
