Broken Wings

broken wings

i sorrow for those in the shadow
... the dark, vindictive shadow 
of my broken wings
inherent they may be born
or innate for those to see
... these shadows are at war,
combatants in my mind,
never at peace,
a hollow well that forever echoes
foreboding
as a tumbleweed stretches
the dessert floor aimlessly
... a bird since cries normalacy,
leaving it's lone branch
flying with the flock
and breaking bread 
but it's broken
... it's broken wings 
are forever holding him down

Excellent 'feel' to this one, and some really good lines. : ) Shadows at war and desert floor - good stuff.
