The Watcher
January 20, 2011
She sits atop a tree
wings
sparkling in the light
Day in and out
destined
to sit,
wait,
and watch
Looking down upon
laughing children,
tinsel spread around
beautiful as she is
she is frozen forever
never to fly
or become something
real
Porcelain skin
begins to crack
Wings breaking open
stretching to the world
A face no longer cold and hard
but soft and perfect
as she rises
her feet pull free
from her chains
Beating wings
carry her up
higher to the sky
finally to rest
upon a soft puff
destined
to sit,
watch,
and protect.
