<pre>there were once two
wings
the purest white in the world
one day one wing broke off
then the other turned blue
when the other returned
seeing it blue
it turned black.
why does the wing return..
when it left without a word
why does it turn black..
when it's other self is now blue
they are a pair no more
not the self they used to know
what do they do now?
wings can only fly, if they are a pair.
the wings fly no more,
but accompany each other
through wind and rain
through frost and snow.
slowly, after a very long a time
they both fade
and become what they once were..
white.
even if the wings do fade back..
and again become a pair
will they still be what they were before?
if they are a pair again..
will they be able to reach the sky?
if the sky's too far to reach
then stay on the ground
and discover all the wonders of it
they may be different now,
but still the same at heart.
the ground is not the same
they will look back at the sky and wonder
wonder how it would feel to fly again
to fly together
but never having the chance
should they regret?
there is no point in thinking back
as things lost may never be found again
regretting will bring nothing but painful memories.
is flying really all that matters so much?
the ground could be a blissful and wonderful place to be
just look around.
and see.
a new beginning.
wings are wings because they can fly
if they cannot fly, they are wings no more
the ground might be a wonderful place
but it's not where they should be
staying here, and not trying once more
is giving up the thing that so many had hoped
for
to be able to fly.
