Petrified Feathers

You singed
the last feather off my back
took away    my sky   my flight 
congratulations lady fire   you win    
I surrender.   

I'm leaving... 
you can eat those feathers for all I care.
When true warmth, true peace blows my way
I'll regrow a new pristine flight.
Regain the sky-high ground
and
watch you sink into the zinc cold earth.
weighted down with singed flight feathers
petrified into silence.

I can relate....it is very cathartic to put pain to words and release it from festering inside. Let it go! As I keep hearing my little two and half year old granddaughter trying to sing the 'Frozen song'. She only knows the words 'let it go'. Haha. Blessings, Connie
