Bent Wings
You are a butterfly
with bent wings,
they say you will
never fly again.
Wings of fragile
silk
flutter in winds
never to feel the
breath
of air beneath,
soaring high above
budding flowers
the caress of sun's
rays gentle like
a considerate lover
who takes his time
to discover every inch
of you instead
of rushing through,
ignoring your stiff
limbs and cries,
a captured butterfly
only trying to test
its wings and
take flight,
become anew just as the
moment of crawling
free from the
chrysalis and first
learning
how to fly
