Back then these wings were weak
Tattered and torn
Unsteady, uncomfortable.

But just as they began to heal
They were abused
Improperly used

When these broken wings took flight
They crashed into the pavement
Avoided repair

The story is short
But the feelings are long after felt
Hurt but still able to grow

The wings have long since been repaired
Years have passed
And time has lapsed

The journey was rough
But well worth the pain
For now all is well

Taking flight was painless
Fear overwhelmed me
Moving on was the face of the finish

I finished  first
Passing along you on the street
I remember the beat of your taunts

But now I have wings
And when I see you
I fly. With ease.

I wish you had taken this deeper and further.

It has the makings of a great poem.

It is good but light, I would love to read the explored version.

Dave
