My wings were torn apart from me
As I was left there, forsaken.

“You can fly without your wings.”
a whisper enchanted my ears.

I closed my eyes and saw
My wings racing through the skies once more.
The flight of joy and excitement
cruising, escaping, racing
against time, against the wind

I never felt so beautiful.
A phoenix rising, a rebirth
of my soul.

I can fly once more.
