Despair and Sorrow

Despair an Sorrow have fallen onto me like ashes that have been scattered upon the forest floor

like the Eagle with the broken wing who decided to fly way above in the sky

knowing there is a chance of falling down an

crashing knowing there might be a possibility they may never fly again.

The fallen Eagle knows you can only mend its wing so many times

before it is no longer mend-able and will never fly again in the sky.

Yet the Eagle will stay only for that part of the sky and will wait upon its return

never to look at another sky

Despair and Sorrow have fallen upon me like ashes spread amongst the forest floor.
