On Wings of Pain

A voiceless scream drifts up from my soul
Borne on wings of pain
Its silent message, a story untold,
Sings a sad and empty refrain.

And it lifts me away to a distant place
To a land of sleepless dreams
Where my soul is released from pain's embrace
And my spirit, at last, is freed.

It lifts me away to this distant place
Where a vision of you I see.
My hands reach out to touch your face,
And you reach out to me.

Touch me! Touch me quickly now,
For the bird of pain is nigh.
His talons will sink deep into my brow,
His wings will carry me high.
