Clipped Wings

Clipped wings i see
Floating on the crest of winds alone
Soaring skies...free
Gliding through air 

Wonder why 
The bird does not fly away
Why she comes back 
And then i think about myself
Why am i where i am...
Are my wings clipped
Or otherwise
Are  thoughts strained
And feet restained
Are wings clipped
Or is
 The heart ripped.

Spread the wings and 
Fly away..

Open the minds
And put our sighs away

Glide on ...
On the waves of life
Clipped wings 
Or otherwise..
