flightless fancy

By not an addict

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)

oh this is wonderful... so few words that really pack a punch. There are so many possibly interpretations and fitting situations this could be lent to. Love it. Magical stuff.
