A Bird With Pinioned Wings
If a bird with pinioned wings
Could speak, instead of sing
And you ask it
What it feels like
To not be able to fly
It would probably tell you
It's just like being
Weighed down
By an elephantine rock
Unable to be lifted by a strong wind
When depression
Wrapped its tentacles around me
Several moons ago
I felt like a bird
Grounded
With pinioned wings
Struggling to take flight
But by the grace of God
Both my wings outstretched again
I've been flying ever since
