Hope Fluffs Its Wings
Written: June 18, 2023

With each blow, I built my fortress strong.
Built walls to avoid battling going wrong.
But within those walls, my torment grew.
A molten fire, consuming all I knew.
In life's menagerie, I wandered free,
A soul was adrift in a vast symphony.
Amidst the chaos, my spirit did thrive.
With every heartbeat, I felt alive.
But as the years swelled and time marched on,
A restlessness within me had begun to spawn.
I yearned for other than an apathetic role.
To ignite a fire deep within my soul.
Beneath life's ashes, I once lay
With broken wings on a somber day.
But fate, in its delicate touch, opted to reveal.
A latent spark that may be revived, with zeal.
Feathers fell alike petals, fluttering down,
When I arose from slumber's sacred gown.
A symphony of grace, in hues untold,
Dancing with the wind, so free and bold.
In golden mornings, kissed by the gentle sun,
I spread my wings, and my flight began.
Whispers of flight, a secret language,
Carried by winds with no baggage.
Each feather has a story to tell.
Soaring high and breaking free from my shell
With every beat of my wings, I feel alive.
Escaping the confines and learning to thrive
Through the twilight's glow, it dances and glides.
A symphony of beauty, where dreams reside.
In every stroke, a story unfolds.
Of love and laughter, of tales untold.
