"Broken Wing"

with a broken wing, she continues to believe
she keeps an eye on the sky
never to give up
no she gives it one more try

the love she feels set her soul free
her demons finally fought, she can face the past
no longer feeling the weight of the dark
true love she has finally found, long last

with a broken wing, she believes in their dream
she takes flight
as the glory of their love
basks her in bright glowing light

and i watch in awe
as she picks herself up and rises once more
with broken wing and all
to the heavens above she does soar

and my heart feels with a joy it's never known
as tears fall slowly from my eye
but its not tears of sadness
its tears of happiness that i cry

as colorful hues streak across the skies
a rainbow sets high above
small smile crosses my face
for the person i speak of is my one true love.

to laura...who always inspires me.

Amy, this is soooooo beautiful, what were you saying the other day, you were having writers block. Well it's obvious to me that it's unblocked now. This is amazing, are you sure you weren't just giving me a chance to catch up with you? I know you're so kind you didn't want me trailing too far behind. I appreciate it love, but you fly high and free, because you do it so well.
I did say I love this didn't I? Because I do.
Take care
