~~Broken Wings~~ She flies above while far below the world lies still in dreams... Soaring, sailing...through diamond studded black, fire (silk) blazing (whispers of) hard (soft) steel (feathered) ...wings against clouds... Into the storm... ...of lives undone ................of fates unknown ........................of love not found then ......falls * * * down * * * !CRASHING! lost and confused on rain (tear) soaked earth With a broken wing. A damaged angel... bruised, battered, but oh so beautiful brought to mortal ground where I walk, stumble...and * * * fall held fast to earth by my own broken wing alone in my thoughts...but alive in her dreams as she lives in mine. And we search through dream shattered shards for mirrors of love to reflect who we are to each other only to find we can ~~~ fly ~~~ with one wing (dream) when we wrap it around one another. For Sharon (A little background explantion on this poem due to the oddity of its format. It was written shortly after I met the woman who would later become my wife. Several months before we met she had been in a commercial airliner plane crash during a wicked storm- and survived (American Airlines Flight 1420). Hopefully it makes a little more sense now :-).
