The Web Poetry Corner - Frank Valentyn - Shaping of the Wing

Shaping of the Wing

by

Frank Valentyn

I take back all the tears
the years of tainting tearing
retrieve all invested vulnerability
unwound my wounds

I undo all negation and diminution
all deprecation and accusation
misperceiving of intentions
catch-twenty-two declensions

I take back my battered heart
my craze-crumpled spirit
undo the darkness
that disguised itself as light

I dare flap my ungainly wing
fed but never stroked
berated in its striving
to altitudes beyond your imagining

I take back sacred light
barely glowing
aim towards the bright
unhide within self, love's clear sight
