Writer's Block Wednesday (#35)

The word for this week is FLIGHT. Wrote a poem about it. Wanna read it? Here it goes... as always, I pray you will relax, reflect and enjoy.

Pretty Wings

Copyright 2012

Maxwell

with his fine self

and

melodic voice

sang of

"pretty wings"

"pretty wings"

wings aren't pretty

when they're weighed down

burdened with the baggage

of yesterday's unkept promises

scared with self doubt

inherited from the words of others

engulfed with the envy

of jealous girls in awe of your cute girl swag

filled with the fear

of failing to reach dreams that are just within reach

Maxwell

with his fine self

and

melodic voice

sang of

"pretty wings"

"pretty wings"

wings aren't pretty

when they're weighed down

so

shake it off

shake it off

lift your wings and fly

above

doubters

haters

fakers

dream takers

procrastinators

and even those

head shakers

take flight

with faith

God's breath is

the wind

beneath your

pretty wings

pretty wings
