My Wings Are Breaking

[Dark Muse]

My Wings Are Breaking

I have a tendency
to fall off cliff edges,
it starts as a game
of sorts, but half-
way through I begin
to realize it might
be serious.

What do you do
when held suspended
by rushing air with
the ground coming
near and no parachute?

I open my eyes
to realize this may
not be a dream,
but like Icarus
even I have my
fragile wings.

Yet each time I
slip again they
start to crack
and I know eventually
they will shatter before
returning me to safety.

So I should take care
among the bluffs,
because I can never
quite stay upright.

Another of yours that I love Muse!

It's the naturalness of it that I like so much, the unaffectedness.

I have often felt a lot like Icarus myself, poised on the edge of a fall hoping my fragile wings are up to the task. keep them coming Muse. You have a real gift.

Thank you!

You've got the sense of poetry; I liked reading your poem. Cliffs are haunting for me, and fascinating... take care of your wings, but mostly feel secure! it is often the best protection. Thanks for this reading, D. Muse!
