Grieving Upon Broken Wings


Uplifting me to those heights
It became easier to climb
When I had loving support
Your heart alongside mine

For you gave me the reasons
As I came out of my shell
The joy you gave my heart
Became as clear as a bell

I felt the love neath my wings
Enabling my heart to soar
Believing in your promises
In being friends forevermore

You have left this uncertainty
Upon my wings of despair
For when I need assurance
A true friend would be there

The impact from your silence
This heart no longer sings
As I crawl back in my shell
Grieving upon broken wings

it is painful to depend on others for happiness...they never seem to be able to live up to our expectations...and so, we must find our own life, bring it in and hold it close, nurturing it, like a fragile newborn...claiming our part of the rainbow...Man, my friend, has forgotten how to fly...without another...

Dear sweet Hope, always shine from within
and love the life of all....

Profound writing my friend.

this poem to me speaks of "self support" because writing and expression is just that--sometimes that and faith in God is all you need.  inspiring write!

Hope

Words are nice but I wouldn't want to be around when the feeling ran high

And the house moved about 10 feet as you picked it up and through it

Lovely words as always but the restraint

Hope, I understand this, so well. I guess that is what I have done. Crawled back into my shell.
