BROKEN WINGS

I have stood on the precipice
forever it seems
Wanting to fly, yearning the
dreams that
Release cares in ways
We are not meant to know,
still...
It never stopped me
I was rearing to go

To search in the ether of
alternative breaths
To fly any direction, to the
right, to the left
With the ethereal beings that
Spoke loud to me
I heard them in soulsong but
as yet
Couldn't see, still...

I trusted and wondered and
waited with calm
For I knew they would love
me, and
Protect me from harm, then
 
One day I crashed, and now...
All hope is smashed
There was no feathered fall
No hands pulling me back
 
I just woke up in pain all alone
on the ground
In desolate black with not one
soul around
And the wings that I thought
Might enable me fly
Are broken in pieces, in the
earth nearby, and...

I don't know how to fix them
