EACH A BROKEN WING

Two birds, each a broken wing
Share empathy but cannot fly
They peck at low feed and rely
Upon combined warmth to get by

Two birds, each a broken wing
Move about in circles in pain
Hide away from the bitter rain
Only together can they be sustained

Two birds, each a broken wing
Share past memories of flight
Each with their own seasons of delight
In exchanged stories, their lust for life will reignite

Two birds, each a broken wing
Wing to wing, gain courage to flutter
Occasional with dark reminiscence, they stutter
Through patience and conciliation, they will recover

Two birds, each a broken wing
Pull together an uneven nest
Embrace the breeze, eternal rest
Each inside still aching, yet blessed
