A Broken Wing

I felt a wispy feather in the wind
a whimsical breeze softly touching my skin.
I was a bird in a cage hoping to sing
waiting to fly upon a broken wing.

Whispers of love I had stolen for you
inviting and hoping to start anew.
Like a bird wanting to dance in the trees
I felt the spring fever of lovers breeze.

I waited for you to unlock destiny's door
inviting to fly away with you and soar.
Freedom was above the mountaintops
above the clouds where there are no locks.

I waited for your wingspan to lead the way
but my broken wing was not meant to stray.

I was adored once too.

Interesting and well written sonnet, and I really liked the broken wing as a metaphor.
