Broken Angel Wings
The wings may be broken
but the angel still flies.
Soaring high into the skies.
Looking and seeing everything
that is around her.
The wings maybe damaged
but even then the angel
soars finding comfort
amongst the clouds and
those who care for her.
The wings maybe tethered
but even with them shattered
the wind still catches.
Soaring higher into the skies.
Then making the descent
down the stairway of life.
Finding herself, exploring
what's around her.
Discovering that even with
broken wings she can still
soar as high as she wishes.
Discovering that even though
her wings are tethered she
still can hold her head up high.
Even with her broken wings
she soars high above the
clouds, higher still then even
she knew that she could
go to get lost amongst a
world where she can
feel secure and safe without
all of the pain that is
cast inside of her head.
The wings of the angel
may be tethered and torn
but her heart is now
free and her head is
now clearer than it
has ever been before.
The wings may be battered
but the soul is shiny and bright.
Having descended the steps
leading to the higher place
a place of surrender and
a place of peace within
her broken soul.
The wings may be shattered
but the Angel still stands
just as tall as if her wings
had never broken.

This work is absolutely beautiful.
The angel still survives. Nothing can truly get her down or take away her success.
She will triumph even in her sadness.
