Ruined Feathers
April 20, 2015
Caught in a realm beyond reach
I am kept by my ruined feathers,
No longer able to fly.
To taste the darkness,
swift and sweet
To feel the ocean's salty spray,
but the only salty spray left
is my tears.
I could once soar over mountains,
but now I am trapped in the frozen canyon
of my closed off soul.
I am kept by my ruined feathers,
no longer able to fly.
