Petrified Feathers

You singed the last feather off my back took away my sky my flight congratulations lady fire you win I surrender. I'm leaving... you can eat those feathers for all I care. When true warmth, true peace blows my way I'll regrow a new pristine flight. Regain the sky-high ground and watch you sink into the zinc cold earth. weighted down with singed flight feathers petrified into silence.

I can relate....it is very cathartic to put pain to words and release it from festering inside. Let it go! As I keep hearing my little two and half year old granddaughter trying to sing the 'Frozen song'. She only knows the words 'let it go'. Haha. Blessings, Connie
