Out of the Box

Wings of an Angel that are not so white...
                                             Mine are just a little discolored
                                                 from what should be right...
                                    I tried to sing but silence stole the stage...
                                              I'm now trapped in a box of
                                                 of words without a page...
                             I will scratch on these walls till it makes some sense...
                                            And then whisper a song until it
                                                     tears down the fence...
                             On the other side I shall stand upright with my pen...
                                             And in the air I will scribe from
                                                      where I've been...

you will always find a way to write and give us music with your words.The song is in your pen which breaks the silence of each wall trapping inside who we are.Discoloured wings we all do carry,cos we are human after all.. So if there's someone with white wings that would be God above us all.Beautiful poem ,really sounds like music-tmfvs-Charma
