Broken Wing

I awoke this morning to a beautiful day.

My loved one in my nest lying next to me

forever to stay.

Then pain struck me like never before.

My loved one flew away, away to explore.

As he flew away, I began to sing. I tried

to fly after him I realized I had a

broken wing.

So I was left alone, alone to heal.

So hard to comprehend so very surreal.

Time would heal my broken wing, I

will soar high above. Never understanding

and forever missing my lost love.

Freedom does have a ying and a yang but a broken wing changes everything.
