Broken

It’s a broken off piece of wing
on the ground before me.
It won’t fly or ever grow back.
It reminds me that I’m sad.

Grounded as I am in life,
a prisoner of my reality,
I cannot fly, I can not fly,
to escape my tragedy.

Blue sky, green blooms abound,
Colors of warmth and light,
yet I seek and have found
the colors of darkest night.

    Everyone I know is so unlike you, a small knit in the cosmic fabric blending and shaping most of what we call life: You are the single thread that stands out from the pattern. Years ago, I saw such as fine a thread and I tugged at it … the cosmic fabric rippled. My life…
