Broken Wings



       
					


                   remnants of a life built with purpose and pride,
                           small synapses of yesterday I recall
                           clouded in a narrowing vision, I slide,
                       lost in abysmal darkness, struggle and fall,
                        once a soaring eagle, now prey in despair,
                       days play out, muddled in confusion and fear,
                       doomed in the silence I bear only in prayer,
                         to savor moments that slip into nowhere.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/19/2024 5:57:00 AM Dear Paulette, I really loved how you captured the ache of lost dreams and the struggle against encroaching darkness. Each line evokes emotion, echoing the journey from pride to despair, from clarity to confusion. I admire your words of resilience amidst adversity, clinging to hope even in the depths of despair. You poetically show it's the fragility of life and the strength found in vulnerability. Paulette this is a very raw and reflective piece. - Blessings, Daniel
Michael Tor Date: 3/18/2024 6:50:00 PM Paulette such a heartfelt piece you have written about your brother. I can not imagine what it was like for him and for you to go through what he went through with your family as well. I hope there was some type of resolve and mending in the end. I always wish for the best and the best outcome. This one as I read was a tough one. Hope you are well blessings to you and your brother...
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 3/18/2024 4:46:00 PM Your Rispetto spoke to me. I especially liked "small synapses of yesterday I recall." After reading your poem I felt twinges of sadness as well as some hope or perhaps resolve with a situation. Have a great evening, Sara
