has anyone else asked this question?

In the clutches of hawkes,
they soar on imagined wings
where once they pecked at my crumbs.
Where once I held out a steadying arm
and laid down blankets for their fall,
that they are saved from halting
That they avoid reduction
to a bruised and broken crawl.
I thumbed away those tears
and stilled those vibrating shoulders
that are now so proudly thrown back
in defiance of fortune, of lifes' slips
I warmed those hands with mine
and nodded grimly,
I dried those rainsoaked wings
and in time flung open the cage door.
I stood with open palms
and calmed the stormy seas.
I built you up and set you free
and now in the clutches of hawkes,
soaring on imagined wings
are you being carried away from me?

if it is true that the world talks toomuch then let us all keep quiet and hear the eloquence of silence - Richard Ntiru

quite possibly. . .it's sad when we help other people. . . and they fly away. . . but that is the way of those that are healers. . .

excellent poem. . .
