Broken Wings

Broken Wings

I am an old, tired bird and my wings are broken
How long has it been since I’ve felt the wind in my hair?
How sweet the sound of somber air under soaring wings if I but hold my breath
Was it a dream I used to believe?
I have been walking so long that I can’t remember anymore
Maybe I’ve never flown at all
I have only now the comfort of smoke
My dear old friend who will kill me in the end
Still the world looks a little prettier through a smoky haze so I am content
I dream of oceans and of hope
And my sweet dove and I laughing for always
Letting the waves wash the sun off our backs
My delusions will be my downfall
Never a day has passed when the wind has not blown cold
Has the cold pierced me so that I’ve become numb?
Your tantalizing warmth tempts me more then ever
It’s ever so close
Yet always just out of reach of my broken grasp
I breathe in your sweet fragrance and sigh
I have been dreaming my whole life
The world is too harsh and my wings are broken
But it’s time to wake up
I must open my eyes and see if you are still there
If you are not, I know what I must do
I must climb higher then I’ve ever dreamed
I will weather any storm; nothing will stop me this time
I will climb to highest peak with my broken wings
And see if I can fly

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
