Broken Wings

Broken Wings Like a rock falling faster and faster the force of gravity reaches out it's arme and only a second later someopne lies upon the ground skin ripped open bones broken all the was is now only shattered pieces that must some how be picked up and put back together when broken wings mend change must follow tears dry up and vision becomes clear feet once again find themselves planted on solid ground and taking flight no longer seems just a childs fantasy step by step forward motion is made and fear leaves finding no place in the heart when broken wings mend one must consider flying again the hand of determination can be used to brush off the dust of stagnation The waters of patients can be used to wash away the dirt and grime of desires to give up give in and quit when broken wings mend we can begin to understand what it is to become and old man or and old woman and still be striving for perfection having fallen from the skies that we call life many times we can begin to compreheand what is ment having heard the wise say when broken wings mend one must consider flying again written by The Poet Michele Dalton
