Poetry Corner - Broken Wings
Eyes
scanning the crowd
Expectant,
yet wary
Clutching
the fading blooms
Your smile
completes the facade
Just one
pitiful sale
The
difference between life and death
Memories of
the border crossing
The pain of
your mothers’ goodbye
You pull her
memory around you
Like an old
familiar blanket
As you walk
in quiet trepidation
Feeling
emptiness in tow
You show
the courage born of loss
A strength
that defies the pain
Lifting
your head to gaze at the sky
You pray
for a little soul needing to go home
Another
eight year old angel
With broken
wings
