A Broken Wing

A BROKEN WING 
by susan Q miller © 2008


A broken wing, a broken shell, 

        candlelight, the incense sweet

              Upon my altar.

A broken heart, a broken dream,
.
,              the memories will not mend.

Before day breaks, I alone, the healer, must dream, new dreams,

         Or make old dreams new

                And fly on the wings of faith

   Into my future – today –

           Before night falls, before I miss an appointment with my soul.
