Broken Wings

by Joyjit Sengupta
(Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India)

Please do not read me wrong
because I have broken my wings
I cannot fly to the heights
I once did

As I hover and glide
through my life
I can still teach you to fly
And when you drift with the wind
and the clouds in the sky
give my regards to them

The wind shall lift me
on it's wings
and the clouds shoulder
the rest of my flight

please do not read me wrong
because I have broken my wings.
