Broken wings fly on silently through the cold & darkened night,
Never any sleep-
Just a memory I long so much to keep,
As broken wings fly the realms of all discovery,
And the quiet whisper of broken dreams.

Silent teardrops fall as a fragile heart lies shattered-
Tiny crystal slivers at your feet.
Now not a word is spoken, lost in your deceit.
I do not cry for the memory of your arms,
But for the beauty that has been shattered & broken all apart.

Wipe away the crystal tears, wipe away the pain,
Erase the doubt and make my soul complete-
Praying for peace, hope, and love,
All the things I need so much so I may rise above.
Even though I fly on broken wings,
I fly on forevermore, patched together with eternal love.

Lesa Kendrick

Life is a ship on a long voyage
in an instable sea

The sea sometimes clam
The sail so smooth
With immense tranquility
The ship moves gracefully
Without any hurry
Sans any tension
It just glides smoothly
In sync with the sea

Sea sometimes fuming
The voyage becomes a challenge
Destination becomes out of focus
There is no one to guide
Sturdy tides trying to block us
And trying to break us down
And we do tend to lose hope
Sometimes it gets tougher
And we are ready to quit

But when the going gets tougher
And tougher gets the going
We just need a light house
To guide us through the dark

It brings the destination in focus
And gives us the needed boost
And the rest lies in our spirit
And determination to fight

But once we learn to struggle
And do not give up till last breath
We would definitely reach the shore
And our name would be written
All over the sea

The sea would be a witness
Of our great achievements
Telling tales of our success
To the future generation

Giving them the needed inspiration
To follow our foot steps
