A Dove With a Broken Wing

Beautiful specter Snow white gleaming feathers, weeps Upon a timber. Looking up the skies Calling her kind, haunting cries She tries over again One wing up in flight The other, limp, disabled No one seems to hear Tired from struggling she rests And dreams to be free. Keeping her wing close All through the night, believing And when the morning wakes Greets the sun with a love song For no fear roams her new heart Then deploys her wings Both, gleaming pure white, extend With a cry of gladness She flew to the sun.

Tender, hopeful, quite inspiring as well. I especially admire the ending, its simplicity sums it up perfectly.
