Broken Wings

Broken Wings

A Poem by BeccaBelieved-

Broken wings of fireflies,

Brightness that has filled thine eyes.

The world around comes crashing down,

Thus releasing a somber sound.

 

Broken wings of birds who fly,

From the ground, give a mournful cry.

The sky, it seems, is far away.

Theres not a way to climb the day.

 

Broken wings of butterflies,

Bright rays of color once filled the skies.

Now a sullen and colorless gray,

The sky is about to fall far away.

 

Broken wings of Angels above,

Who have known nothing but love.

They fall from the sky, never to be found,

Landing on the cold, hard ground.

 

Broken wings of spirits abound,

Already tumbled down to the ground.

They try to fight their way out of the well,

Only to fall back down to hell.

 

Ride the wings of hope above,

Showered in undending love.

Finding their way back home to heaven,

Entering the clouds, providing a haven.

 

Fall back down in a demon's grasp,

Take a breath, hold back a gasp.

Home on Earth, ground cold and hard,

Nowhere else to turn, take out your final card.

 

With broken wings, lay on the ground,

And let a low baleful sound

Fill the air and fill the night,

For you have just lost your final fight.

Thanks for changing the font. It's much easier to read now and I can enjoy it more. Your writing in this poem is beautiful and its full of splendid imagery.

This is a good piece. However I do find that font hard on the eyes. You use quite simply some stunning and captivating wording and imagery. Overall its a beautiful piece with the font the only thing against it.

This was a good, strong write, full of pain and yet still structured. That is a rare thing. Great job.
