Her Broken Wings

A beautiful creature
Born of love and fear
Born of beauty
Born now and here

As she flapped her wings
The broken wing shudders
I watch in disbelief
As of the ground she flutters

Her broken wings
Still strong enough to
Cross the ocean with

Her broken wings
How far will she go
Drifting in the wind

Her iridescent wings
The bright colour
Stands out of the monotony
Stopping time in that hour

she flies to meet
The other butterflies
They see her wings
And they too cry

Bravely though she hovered
Struggling with those wings
A song of hope, of love
With love she sings

Her broken wings
Still strong enough to
Cross the ocean with

Her broken wings
How far will she go
Drifting in the wind
