Broken Wings

(fairy tale gone wrong)  
     
She thought he was an angel    
a woodland wizard    
a time traveller      
a magic muse    
a hallowed hero    
     
but now she knows      
that he is but a man,    
a man who is stuck    
in his life as it were muck,    
not regarding decorum as to
whose life it is he plays with    
in his boredom
whose life it is he discards   
in his neglect
whose life it is that he had      
raised to great heights    
before dropping it    
from the treetops    
when he heard his name      
echoing...
     
echoing      
from the garden below    
     
perhaps it was she     
who was the angel,      
after all
- rising on wings of forgiveness
