A Heart Shot from Flight
There it soared free
In the sky above all lands
Looking down in an innocence
Till love shot it down
A heart brought to the earth
Taken in the name of sport
Left to the lay in the dirt
While the sun blazing over head
Time passed into nothingness
While rain clouds gathered
The sky it cried and cried
Till the land beneath flooded
To drown the heart shot from flight
To allow a peaceful rest
To say goodnight
