DarkPoetry -|- not an addict -|- flightless fancy

flightless fancy

so sad to watch the faerie
try to dance without her wings
freedom over the horizon...
but always just out of reach.
and although i see her smile,
a truer beauty never seen,
there's a sadness in her eyes
screaming "really,
what's a faerie without wings?"

(you are missed)

I cannot express how many times I have basked in the beauty of this poem, and trembled with it's sadness..It is late, I am tired, and struggle to convey just how this touched me ~ Pray you forgive me. Perhaps giving it a special place on my favourites wil
