Clipped Feathers

My feathers  clipped by ruthless time
               Me  in my prime
                   In a prison
              Of life’s treason

Some strength ,still  left inside my heart
               To freshly start
                  To get going
                   Again flying

My patience helped ,to grow new wings
              Those feathered  things
                A flight to dreams
                Now, easy seems!!

Oh, I think this is wonderful! Yes YES deserving of the top spot. Emotes truth with clarity yet is built on/with metaphor. Reminds me of Maya Angelou. Congrats on the win and thank you for sharing. Smiles from Cyndi
